When viewing an Applet, why does Safari for Windows display "Java is Unavailable or Not Installed" when Java is installed and available? [closed]

While many complaints about this problem exist online, a Google search against "Safari Windows jvm.dll JAVAFX" finds this obscure thread on the Apple Forums.

Summarized, the problem is when Safari checks the Windows Registry for a particular value, it uses the first value it finds instead of the correct value.

Steps to repair the issue:

1. Close all Safari windows.
2. Run regedit.exe
3. Backup your Windows registry (right-click the root Computer and select export).
4. Go to
   • 32-bit Windows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\
   • 64-bit Windows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\
5. Examine each entry; there will probably be more than one.
   • Some entries reference proper JREs, while some may reference JavaFX or something else.
   • The JavaFX one may have been installed by Java 7.
   • It is likely Safari is selecting the bottom-most sorted entry; check whether the file path reference for that entry is invalid or nonexistent.
6. select the bad entry under ..\Java Plug-in\, cross your fingers, and delete it.
7. close regedit
8. re-open Safari and browse to a page with an applet. Give it a minute.
9. At this point, you should be successful. If it continues to fail, check other registry entries under the ..\Java Plug-in\ or parent subfolder ..\JavaSoft\ for invalid file paths. If you recently upgraded, a prior installation may have been invalidated, but the registry entries might not have been removed, and might have to be excised manually.

NOTE: Regarding step 4, your data may be under a different location; check the comments below for the experiences of other users who have resolved this issue in a similar fashion. Please post any alternate Windows Registry paths below as a comment.

Tried above but didn't work.

deleted java related stuff in C:\Program Files (x86)\Safari\Plugins - .jar and dll

Working now.

Actually the combination of the top answer, the explanation at: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3192281?start=0&tstart=0 and marcus pope's windows 7 location worked for me.
That is:
I have windows 7.
When trying to run a java applet (geogebra) I got the error message that Safari

could not load C:\PROGRA~1\Oracle\JAVAFX~1.0\bin\server\jvm.dll

since the path does not exist on my machine. This is short for: C:\Programme\Oracle\JavaFX Runtime 1.0\etc ...

Steps:

1. I shut down Safari.
2. I opened my registry and went to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in.
3. There I found 2 folders (others have found more). The highest one was 10.5.1 and there I found a reference to the path C:\Programme\Oracle\JavaFX Runtime 1.0\etc.
4. I backed up my registry and then deleted this folder.
5. I restarted Safari and all is well.
