How to install an old version of JDK in windows 7?


I already have some version installed on the machine, 1.7 and 1.6.

Now I have the need to install version 1.5, but when I try to install an error occurs, speaking to uninstall the versions that I have the Java (JDK).

I have no chance because I have other applications using these versions, is there any possibility to do this without uninstalling these versions I already have ?

Thank in advance !

  • Bypassing the installer is bit of work, but doable. How to extract Java from the EXE installer is described in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6571736/73652
