We recommend using the latest JRE supported by IT-Conductor by using the Install button.

Note:

• For 1st-time installations, the Install button will appear. Else, the Update button will show.

• Clicking Install will download the JRE from Oracle, so it may take a few minutes (depending on Internet connection speed).

• It is normal to see the status "IT-Conductor (Not Responding)" while this download and installation occurs.

Once the Installation of JRE is successful, the Java Home will be automatically updated.
