Java Platform Standard Edition 8 Documentation

Oracle has two products that implement Java Platform Standard Edition (Java SE) 8: Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8 and Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 8.

JDK 8 is a superset of JRE 8, and contains everything that is in JRE 8, plus tools such as the compilers and debuggers necessary for developing applets and applications. JRE 8 provides the libraries, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and other components to run applets and applications written in the Java programming language. Note that the JRE includes components not required by the Java SE specification, including both standard and non-standard Java components.

The following conceptual diagram illustrates the components of Oracle's Java SE products:

Microsoft Management Console causing problems with some snap ins

• When you try to launch a Microsoft Management Console Snap-in file (.msc file) you receive the error “MMC cannot open the file c:\pathfilename.msc“

2. Type the following:

regsvr32 C:\Windows\system32\msxml3.dll

3. Click OK and WAIT until Windows confirms that the dll has been registered successfully.
4. Now open Windows Explorer and browse to the following folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\MMC

Note

Replace the word username above with your own Windows username

5. Look through the files in this folder and locate the file with the same name as the msc file that appears in the error message.
6. Rename the file to filename_old
7. Now try to launch your console again and the error should be resolved.
