Web app (for work, so non free) not accessible through Abrowser

It roughly says: "Microsoft doesn't support XP anymore, it's highly recommended that you use an up-to-date OS (and not "browser").
I partially solved it by using Random Agent Spoofer set on MSIE 10. Now I only have a partial warning.
But it says I need Java installed.
Is it not installed by default? is it non-free?
Looks like I have my answer here: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/any-way-replace-java
After installing a bunch of java stuff from the repo, it still gives me the warning and prompts me for an .exe download which I can't execute.
And the app still thinks the OS is outdated, as it should since I did nothing to solve that point.
But it seems it's only a warning.
Worst case, I'll go with a Windows virtual machine. But I'm confident there's another way.
Looks like too much trouble. After restartiing Abrowser, I have no java warning, but I fail to completely download or make the .exe work (error, and no way to run it in sandbox mode).
I'll try to run Windows on a virtual machine. A heavily guarded one.
IcedTea, which is in Trisquel's repository, allows your browser to execute Java applets. Install "icedtea-7-plugin".
I also tried the version 6 but there's still some loading error (not much to work on) that doesn't exist on Windows.
It's nearly working, but not yet.
I tried updating everything and restarting the PC.
Don't mind the outdated OS warning though, it happens on Windows as well.
Is there some parameter to teawk regarding icedtea?
Why would you use version 6? That's the ancient version of Java; Java 7 superseded it 5 years ago. Even Java 7 has been superseded by Java 8, though I don't know if Trisquel 7's repository has version 8 (it's more recent).
Sorry, I meant that since the 7 didn't work as I thought, I tried the 6 as well.
So I guess I should try the 8 from a ppa?
That might be worthwhile.
If that doesn't work, you might be out of luck. Perhaps you should ask your employer to supply a computer that will work with these programs. What's it for, anyway?
I don't know what it is for exactly, it isn't for me.
I suppose it's something about scheduling, but I might be completely wrong.
I'll try to get the latest version (EDIT: it didn't work).
I'm so tired that I'm contemplating installing the non-free java plugin, which is much less painful than trying Qemu/KVM again and burning the PC again.
The problem is that it takes control of the whole browser.
Hmm... I guess I could try a dedicated (and sandboxed) browser for this.
If it isn't for you, then whoever it's for, you should tell them that you couldn't solve it and suggest they ask their employer to help them. If they're reputable and not completely stupid, they'll do something so that they can do their job correctly. You shouldn't waste your time taking it upon yourself to help people install proprietary programs because someone else caused a problem for them.
