How can I determine whether the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is installed on my computer?

A. To verify whether JVM is installed, perform the following steps:

  1. Start a command prompt--go to Start, Run and type
    cmd.exe
  2. Enter the Jview command by typing
    C:\< jview

If the computer doesn't recognize the command, JVM isn't installed. When the computer does recognize the command, the JVM version will be displayed. For example, when I type the command in Step 2 on my computer, the following line indicates that JVM is installed:
