Howto install the Java™ Plug-In in Internet Explorer

Playing Plan-B screencasts correctly, requires the Java Plug-In from Sun Microsystems to be installed in the browser. If the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed on the machine, make sure the Plug-In is activated for Microsoft Internet Explorer. The following steps describe the manual installation.

1. Make sure a current Java Runtime Environment is installed. If you need to install or update the Java Runtime Environment, please see "Howto install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) from Sun Microsystems?
2. Go to the Windows Control Panel.
   
3. In the Windows Control Panel, double click on the Java Cup to open the Java Plug-In Control Panel.
