I created a simple .Net windows application (targetted to x86 platform since Java does not have x64 bit support) withWeb Browser control in it. Whenever i try to browse an applet in web browser control (example: http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/demo/applets/Animator/example1.html
), web browser controlpops a Java window and get stuck there anddo not show me the applet. I am usingJRE version 1.6.0_05. This is only happening on Longhorn and Vista x64 bit. Windows 2003 x64 works fine. On all other platforms, this .Net executable works fine.

I tried everything suggested in following blog but still same issue

Do we know any known issues with Vista/longhorn x64 web browser cotnrols and Java applets?

Thanks,

Yes, this is indeed a JVM problem and i already filed a bug report with Sun and they reviewed and accepted it.

I guess this problem might have been fixed already looking at the previous post dates. But I had the same problem now and when searching the net found this post.

My problem got fixed by compiling my code specifically for x86 (Instead of "Any CPU")
