WebVue versions supplied with PcVue version 11.2 and earlier.
WebVue versions supplied with PcVue version 12 onwards use different technology to which this article is not applicable.
Summary:

How to choose the correct version of Java for 64-bit Windows.

 
Details:

64-bit Windows operating systems are supplied with a 32-bit Internet Explorer (IE) browser as the default but these operating systems also include a 64-bit Internet Explorer browser. Because some web content may not work properly in a 64-bit browser, we recommend using the default 32-bit browser and the corresponding 32-bit Java.

This may also apply to other web browsers although most of them are only available in 32-bit format anyway.

Additional notes

  1. If you migrate to a new PcVue version which includes a new JRE, the link displayed on the no-plugin-available-website may not be correct. This link is dynamically created only the first time that WebVue is set up.
  2. If the text As a download from the WebVue Server (only 32-bit version) is not displayed it may be because the server side logic was not able to find a matching installer executable.
  3. For further information search the internet for ‘Which Java download should I choose for my 64-bit Windows operating system’
