Run 64 bit Java with Internet explorer 11

64-bit, internet-explorer, java, windows

Solution

I was searching for the same problem, here is the solution:

You only have to execute this script (save with .reg extension):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"TabProcGrowth"=dword:00000000

Then you can stop and launch again IE x64 that will now work with Java x64. :)

Problem

I have Internet explorer 11. I have some help files which run only with 64 bit Java. By default IE was launching in 32 bit. After googling I found by enabling Enhanced protection, IE will launch in 64 bit. I was able to achieve IE in 64 bit. However it was still launching 32 bit Java. Please note:- When there was a separate option of 64 bit with IE 9. I was able to run the help files with 64 bit version. Please let me know how to run IE 11 with 64 bit Java in windows 7.
