Java Standard Edition (SE) is a free software bundle that provides the Java. To display a wide range of programs and Web content on 32-bit Windows PCs.
Running with less memory may cause disk swapping which has a severe effect on performance. Very large programs may require more RAM for adequate performance.
Troubleshooting the InstallationNote:- Trying to install the Java SE Runtime Environment on a non-supported version of Microsoft Windows or on a machine that doesn't have a sufficiently up-to-date Service Pack will cause the installer to generate this warning: 'We recommend that you do not install this Java platform for the following reasons: This Java platform does not support the operating system or operating-system service pack on this machine.'

Note: For any text on this page containing the following notation, you must substitute the appropriate update version number for the notation.For example, if you are downloading the installer for update 1.6.0_01, the following file name:would become:1.If choosing 'Windows Offline Installation', download and check the download file sizeAfter clicking the JRE 'Download' link for the 'Windows Offline Installation' a dialog box pops up -- choose the following option:
- Save - This saves the downloaded file without installing it. Check that you have downloaded the entire file by comparing the size of the file you downloaded with the expected size shown on the download page:
jre-1_6_0_<version>-windows-i586.exe
This file contains everything needed to install the Java SE Runtime Environment, including the installer and character conversion classes and support for locales other than the US English locale.
You must have administrative permissions in order to install the Java SE Runtime Environment on Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP.
The download page provides the following two choices of installation. Continue based on your choice.
a.Windows Online Installation - After clicking the 'Download' link for the JRE, a dialog box pops up -- choose the following option:- Open - This starts a small program which then prompts you for more information about what you want to install.

' mean 'install from the web'.)b.Windows Offline Installation - Run the file downloaded in step 1 by double-clicking on the installer's icon. Then follow the instructions the installer provides. When done with the installation, you can delete the downloaded file to recover disk space.With either choice, the installer may ask you to reboot your computer 3.If you want to run Netscape 7.x, Mozilla 1.x, or Firefox 1.x with Java Plugin, do this:- Exit the Netscape 7.x, Mozilla 1.x, or Firefox 1.x browser and all of its 'objects' (Messenger, Composer ...);
- If the Quick Launch feature is enabled, disable it;
- Then restart Netscape 7.x, Mozilla 1.x or Firefox 1.x.
The installation process also installs Java Web Start.
Java Web Start- Compatibility: The release of Java Web Start that comes with this JRE can be run on JRE 1.2.2 or later. It will not work with JRE 1.1.x or earlier.
- Upgrading from Previous Versions: If you have a previous release of Java Web Start, do not uninstall it. Uninstalling it will cause the download cache to be cleared, and all previously installed Java Web Start application data will have to be downloaded again. This new release will overwrite previous installations and automatically update browsers to use this new release. The configuration files and program files folder used by Java Web Start have changed, but all your settings will remain intact after the upgrade, since Java Web Start will translate your settings to the new form.
- Uninstalling: The only way to uninstall Java Web Start is to uninstall the JDK/JRE. Uninstalling the JDK/JRE will not, however, remove the cache for previous releases of Java Web Start. Previous releases have separate uninstallers for Java Web Start.
Note:
You may see a misleading message if you do the following:
You may see a misleading message if you do the following:
- Download and cache a Java Web Start (JNLP) application with JDK/JRE 5.x
- Remove JDK/JRE 5.x using 'Add or Remove Programs' from the Windows Control Panel
- Remove the Java Web Start application using 'Add or Remove Programs.'
When you remove the application, you see an 'Uninstaller Error' dialog saying 'An error occurred while trying to remove Java-Application: <name> App. It may have already been uninstalled. Would you like to remove Java-Application: <name> App from the Add or Remove program list?' If you say yes to this, then you will see another 'Uninstaller Error' dialog saying 'You do not have sufficient access to remove Java-Application: <name> App from the Add or Remove Program list. Please contact your system administrator.' This is the misleading message. It implies that the problem is due to privileges. It is not. The problem is that you have already removed the Java Web Start application when you removed JDK/JRE 5.x, but this is not reflected in the 'Add or Remove Programs' dialog until it is refreshed by pressing F5 or it is closed and reopened.
To avoid seeing this misleading message, either press F5 or close and reopen the dialog. Any Java Web Start application that was downloaded and cached with JDK/JRE 5.x will no longer appear in the list of currently installed programs.
- Using Java Web Start with Netscape 6.x/7.x: For Netscape 6.x/7.x users, setup the Java Web Start MIME type (JNLP) in the Edit->Preferences->Navigator->Helper Applications section. The file extension is
jnlp
; MIME Type isapplication/x-java-jnlp-file
. It should be handled by thejavaws
executable file in your Java Web Start directory. Also note that, due to a problem with the JavaScript in Netscape 6.x/7.x, you must use the non-JavaScript version of the demos page

Seems there are no 32-bit download packages on Oracle's available download list.

x64
to x86
, it will give you the 32-bit binaries.Update: And now it's gone. Bizarre! What is Oracle playing at? They went to the effort to fix x86-specific bugs for Java 9, they explicitly said 32-bit Windows and Linux were supported, they list installation instructions for 32-bit systems, they made 32-bit builds fully available throughout the pre-release period for testing purposes, and nothing in their JDK 9 migration guide indicates that 32-bit platforms have been dropped (quite the opposite in fact: it says the
-client
VM command line option has been dropped so the faster -server
VM is now the default for 32-bit).So why are they suddenly hiding the release binaries?
I happened to have downloaded the Windows JDK (including JRE) and the Linux JRE for x86. I don't have the Linux JDK. There's an Oracle digital signature in the properties of the Windows exe so you can see that it's genuine. I do hope Oracle get their act together.

Update 2: Apparently Oracle has decided to eliminate support for x86 Java forever. They somehow finished, compiled, digitally signed, and published the Java 9 binaries by accident. The binaries still work, but presumably will not receive updates.
Update 3: Apparently Oracle has become so hateful and hostile towards Java developers that they have compelled Google to block the above downloads with a DMCA request. Nothing I can do. Sorry. If you have Java 9, you have it, and it will still work. If you don't have Java 9, well, you'll have to get creative.

Chief Java Architect Mark Reinhold in Twitter on September 25:
Sorry, but we have no plans to ship 32-bit builds of JDK 9. We’re trying to focus more on the future than the past.
Yes, you can build your own 32-bit JDK 9 binaries.

I found a Win32 build here: https://github.com/ojdkbuild/ojdkbuild
This is a OpenJDK provided by RedHat (without support), no idea if they will provide those builds in future.

However: The statement there 'In JDK 9, the Windows 32–bit client VM is not available. Only a server VM is offered.' is not even accurate, there is not even 32-bit server VM (as of Sep 27, 2017).
Update: Not just Windows, but no 32-bit for any platform is available.
