    Default Need to uninstall the previous version of java?

    when i type java -version in the command prompt i get the result as
    java version "1.3.1_01"
    But then i cant find any Java installed in control panel-add or remove programs
    Also after installing the new JDK 6 version java -version is showing the same old version
    And because of this i am not able to run java programs
    i can compile them but when i run i get java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError since class file is of a higher version

    Welcome to the Java Programming Forums.

    What version of Windows are you on? You will need to update your Enviroment Variables.
