IE JVM Problems...

Hi there.

Is there a way of detecting if the JVM is installed in Windows as opposed to
telling whether the JVM is enabled?

I have tried the following two items of code on a Windows box that doesn't
have the JVM installed,, but each time IE tries to download the JVM and
install it.

Code Item 1
===========

<applet code="SiteMap2ech.class" codebase =
"/newintranet/intranet/00_common/java/sitemap/" width="91" height="11">
  <param name="AUTHOR" value="Eric Harshbarger,
http://www.ericharshbarger.org">
  <param name="COPYRIGHT" value="SiteMap applet, Copyright 1998, Eric
Harshbarger">
  <param name="MAPFILE"
value="/newintranet/intranet/00_common/java/sitemap/sitemap.txt">
  <param name="BACKGROUND"
value="/newintranet/intranet/00_common/java/sitemap/sitemap.gif">
  <param name="FOREGROUND"
value="/newintranet/intranet/00_common/java/sitemap/sitemap2.gif">
  <a href="/newintranet/intranet/search/" class="sitemap"
target="main">SITEMAP</a>
</applet>

Code Item 2
===========
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
if (navigator.javaEnabled()==1) {
  document.write('<applet code="SiteMap2ech.class" codebase =
"/newintranet/intranet/00_common/java/sitemap/" width="91" height="11">');
  document.write('  <param name="AUTHOR" value="Eric Harshbarger,
http://www.ericharshbarger.org">');
  document.write('  <param name="COPYRIGHT" value="SiteMap applet, Copyright
1998, Eric Harshbarger">');
  document.write('  <param name="MAPFILE"
value="/newintranet/intranet/00_common/java/sitemap/sitemap.txt">');
  document.write('  <param name="BACKGROUND"
value="/newintranet/intranet/00_common/java/sitemap/sitemap.gif">');
  document.write('  <param name="FOREGROUND"
value="/newintranet/intranet/00_common/java/sitemap/sitemap2.gif">');
  document.write('</applet>');
} else {
  document.write('<a href="/newintranet/intranet/search/" class="sitemap"
target="main">SITEMAP</a>');
}
//-->
</script>

I am probably missing something fairly fundamental, so any help to this
email address would be greatly appreciated.
