Reverting to a Previous JRE Plug-in/JInitiator Version

If you wish to revert back to previously installed version of JRE to be used in your Application, please re-install the required version by re-running the txkSetPlugin script with the appropriate parameters. This will automatically overwrite the JRE parameters in the configuration files.

To revert back to a version of JInitiator, you must also run the txkSetPlugin script with the appropriate parameters and not the old jinit.sh or jinit.cmd scripts that were used for JInitiator upgrades previously. Using JInitiator 1.3.1.28 as an example the command would be;

UNIX Users

$ txkSetPlugin.sh 13121
