Title: Software Updater Wants to Install Older Version of Java Runtime Environment
Post by: pdkent2002 on January 17, 2019, 07:27:51 PM
I've got the latest (8.0.201.9) Java RE installed, both the 32 and 64 bit versions, on my Win10 x64 Home PC.  Avast's software updater wants to install version 8.0.1910.12, both 32 bit and 64 bit.  However, my Java console indicates that I have the latest version installed.  I've checked and no earlier versions of Java than the current ones (32 and 64 Bit)  remain installed.  Do I have a problem, or does the Avast Software Updater?  Any suggestions besides what I've already done: telling the Software Updater to "ignore" the updates?  That seems like a work-around rather than a solution.

Could you please rename (or compress) the file "c:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log\swhealthex.log" to a unique filename (so that it can be idendified to be from you) and upload it to ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming (ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming) ?

DavidR,
Thanks for pointing those out.  In my mind I had turned on notify for all topics I started or replied to when I first set up my account.  However on re-checking, those notify checkboxes were unchecked.  Now they're checked!
