> The plugin is developed by Oracle. By selecting this option, you are only enabling it in the folder where Java is installed.

After installing the plugin, you need to restart your computer.

After installing the plugin with administrator rights, further use of the plugin can be done with standard user rights.

> If you need to install the Java plugin in a specific folder rather than system-wide, there is a program "JavaPluginInstall.exe" in the Robot folder. To navigate to the Robot folder, right-click the Assistant shortcut on the desktop and then select "Open file location."
