Installing the Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

One of the Flight Trainer installers includes a copy of the 1.4 version of the JVM.  If the Flight Trainer installs a copy of the JVM, it is only available to the Flight Trainer.  During the Flight Trainer's installation, the installer detects of the required version of the JVM is install:

1. If it is, the Flight Trainer uses that version..
2. If not, the Flight Trainer installs its own version

Another version of the Flight Trainer installer does not include the JVM.  By installing the latest version of the JVM available to your computer yourself,  your browser(s) and other Java applications will be using the most current JVM.

   If you see an entry like this, with v1.4 or higher shown, you are ready to install the Flight Trainer.
