Where does javaw.exe live on a standard Vista installation?
3 Answers
I believe;
C:\Program Files\Java\jre[version number]\bin
The Java Runtime Environment file javaw.exe
(which is the non-windowed version of java.exe
) is located at:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre[version]\bin\javaw.exe
In my case, I've got 5 folders in my Java folder, each a different version:
jre1.6.0
jre1.6.0_03
jre1.6.0_05
jre1.6.0_07
jre6
It's in usually c:\user\your-username\AppData\LocalLow\Java\
Search for the current version and copy/paste it to your desired location.

1This both contradicts the other answers and does not work on my system... I also recommend you do not copy Java binaries (such as
javaw.exe
) into random folders.– BobJun 4, 2012 at 7:42
