Hello,
I'm trying to install the Java Runtime Enviroment 6 on macOS Mojave, because one of my programs requires it. Unfortunately this official link: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=cs_CZ does not work. The installation will launch however when selecting a disk to install Java "Macintosh HD" can not be selected, because "It already contains a newer version of the package."
Any help will be much appreciated,
Josef Solin

I'm really sorry I just realised something, I upgraded the OS to Catalina. I forgot I've done that when I was writing that question. So maybe it's just a Catalina bug, since it's still a new release. But I need to ask a new question, since this error makes my it significatly different.
Sincerely,

Hi,
thank you for your advice. Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I uninstalled Java completely, right now there are no Java files on my computer exept for Chrome, Minecraft and Steam files. Should I clear those too or try something else?
Kind regards,
Josef Solin
Sorry it did not work for you it worked for me when I had Android Studio a couple of years ago.
I am almost sure there is still Java files on your Mac, try searching manually, tedious and long but you might find something, be careful there are some apple/java files you should not delete, just come back here and ask.
Always keep deleted files in the trash for some time until all is well.
I really do not know what else you can try I will see what else I can find.
