    Windows XP SP1a - excludes MS Java VM

    Differences between SP1 and SP1a explained here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=813926

    Windows XP SP1a does not include or install the Microsoft VM, which provides support for running Java programs.

    Note: If you are running Windows XP or Windows XP SP1 with the Microsoft VM, you can continue to update the Microsoft VM by using Windows Update. If you are running Windows XP without the Microsoft VM, you do not have to install updates to the Microsoft VM. Therefore, these updates are not offered to you when you visit Windows Update. Microsoft is no longer able to provide a download of the Microsoft VM for computers that do not already have the Microsoft VM installed. For more information, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

    If you don't already have SP1, you can get SP1a through here:
