If you are seeing warning icons indicating you cannot place Java onto the disk because a newer version of the package is already installed, such as: Some users have also experienced their previously existing legacy Java libraries have been moved or quarantined. Attempts to reinstall legacy Java libraries upon upgrade of the OS may result in errors restricting installation. Java 6 cannot currently be installed on macOS 10.15 Catalina because there is a newer version of Java installed on the system. 元Harris Geospatial Development is working to move off this legacy Java 6 dependency, but for now you will require this version to be installed on your MacOS. Java 6 is used by the IDL Development Environment, by ENVI, bridge processes, as well as some newer graphics routines. Thanks for everyone’s assistance in helping to resolve this.This article addresses ENVI/IDL's current dependency on legacy Java 6 libraries. I will use my plan B solution as given above until ActivInspire is updated to remove its dependency on the Java 6 RE. Installing the Java 6 RE then installing Java 8 RE does not upgrade the Java 6 RE, you just get two separate versions of Java RE.Īs Oracle says “Keeping old versions of Java on your system presents a serious security risk.”Ĭan I ask that Promethean amend the system requirements for OS X, to make it that clear that Apple’s Java 6 RE is required for the software to run? The information currently on the system requirements page appears to be incorrect, and comment on Twitter (whilst accurate) was a little misleading.

Apple’s Java 6 RE and Oracle’s Java 8 RE are completely separate installations, and live on separate parts of the disk. Yes that is correct”.Īs far as I can see, ActivInspire on Yosemite appears to ignore any newer version of the Java RE that is installed (installing the latest Java RE appears to serve no purpose, unless you need it for something else).

Promethean Technical Support replied to my question ” You’re saying that if I want to run ActivInspire on Yosemite, I have to install the legacy Java 6 RE?” by email with “Thank you for confirming. To leave us your feedback, please use the form at: įor full Technical Support contact information, please visit and search for Article 10860.įor full details around Product Registration and ActivCare Warranty please visit If the issue persists, please do not hesitate to contact us again: we will be happy to consider other available options. In this case, the best thing would be to perform the following actions in this order:ġ) Remove the version of Java currently installed (you may find this link useful: )ģ) Reboot your MAC machine (please note: this is an integral part of the solution) This error is usually encountered when the Java installation has gone wrong, or when Java has been corrupted for some reason. I am sorry you are experiencing some issues with ActivInspire and Yosemite OS. Thank you for contacting Promethean Tech Support.
