Good day Ranchers,
I've got an
applet which runs properly using an installed 32-bit JRE version 8 update 131 in either 32-bit or 64-bit Internet Explorer 11.
But, when I tried a 64-bit JRE (version 8 update 131). Applet wouldn't even load using either 32-bit or 64-big Internet Explorer 11.
I initially thought that this might be an issue with my own Applet. But I tried a demo applet from oracle and it's the same: works well with 32-bit JRE but NOT with 64-bit JRE.
Here's the demo applet for reference:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/deploymentInDepth/examples/dist/depltoolkit_CustomizingSplashScreen/AppletPage.html
I'm wondering if this would simply be a limitation to my applet that it really just works with 32-bit JRE. (Though I may not really need to run in 64-bit JRE technically.)
Any thoughts/comments/suggestions on this? On maybe what's the next step?
Thank you in advance.
Disclaimer:
I've learned this past years that we should be moving away from applets. But somehow, for some reasons, we find it difficult to migrate.
