Need version 9.0 at newest; Win2K seems to not support anything
newer, probably the newer junk is 64-bit.

Ditto for needing an older version of Java.

Archived Flash installers are here. The installer is for developers,
and contains both regular and debug modules. You unzip the contents
(using 7ZIP) and in the regular install section, there would be one
file used for IE installation (ActiveX or .ax) while the other
installer is for the Netscape/Seamonkey/Firefox family.

"Flash Player 10.1.102.64 * Windows 2000"

Java has an archive as well. Click the "SE 6" button and you'll find
older releases like 6U22.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...ve-139210.html

The regular Java download page, installation instructions, mention Win2K.
So maybe even the latest SE 7 works ? Sometimes those instruction
pages tell a lie, and in fact a stated OS doesn't work. The installer
will "deny" if necessary. You can work your way through the archived
versions until you find a good one.

The 6U37 one is not blocked. The others have what is considered to be
"security issues". But that's true all the time anyway

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...s-1859589.html

Windows x86 Offline 16.19 MB jre-6u37-windows-i586.exe

You can also try the 7U9 one.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...s-1859586.html

Windows x86 Offline 29.72 MB jre-7u9-windows-i586.exe

*******

According to this, 6u27 is the last one for Win2K.

http://www.oldapps.com/java.php?supported_systems=true

http://www.oldapps.com/java.php?old_java=6281

Java 6 Update 27 (16.33 MB)

Now, I happen to have that one.

jre-6u27-windows-i586-s.exe 17,127,200 bytes
MD5sum = e0487ae4e30d9f7fa82e3e6196ac70f8

I think to date, the four I have on disk here, have come
from Oracle or Sun. So if you want to try the oldapp download
site, you can compute the MD5sum and see if it matches
mine. If it does, chances are it's legit (or, at least
"as delivered by Sun").

HTH,

Weird..was not asked for username / password.
Downloaded jre-6u37-windows-i586.exe and ran it..got error 1723 DLL
required to install could not be run.
Next error message said Java 6 update 37 could not be completely
installed.

Well, i am going to act foolish and stop at that; will re-try
something else if i am pushed or really need it.

Thanks for the help. The Flash player 10.1.102 etc works very nicely.
Hopefully i will not get an occasional "nag" for updating (which
happened before).
