Written by When you try to load a java application which depends on Jinitiator, Internet Explorer 8 will crash with the message: “Java Runtime Environment cannot be loaded from <\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll>”.
Unfortunately, Oracle has stopped supporting Jinitiator on IE8. In my own company, this meant a critical application for customer support could not be used with Windows 7, which supplies IE8 as default. Of course there alternatives such as Windows XP mode or streaming with a seamless Citrix window, but after a while I found a better solution.
