Question...Should I update to Java 7 then install the patch, which, in this case, is a JDK? I ask because that is where the dl button sent me, to the Java JDK 7u7.

1. Update your Java (that should have happened by itself over the past 2 weeks).

2. Download and apply the appropriate patch. You can see this thread to figure out which you need:  https://forums.wincustomize.com/430436
