Hello,
I'm trying to install "Java for macOS 2017-001 installs the legacy Java SE 6 runtime" because an App that i use request me to install this version of java.. on my Mac I have IOS Catalina.
The problem is that during the installation session, the system says me that I can't install Java SE 6 because is already installed an updater versione of Java.
How can I solve the problem ?
thanks so much !!

You can solve this problem using Apple script, create a new script with the follow code, then apply it to "JavaForOSX.dmg", and then you can install it whitout problem.
set theDMG to choose file with prompt "Please select javaforosx.dmg:" of type {"dmg"}
do shell script "hdiutil mount " & quoted form of POSIX path of theDMG
do shell script "pkgutil --expand /Volumes/Java\\ for\\ macOS\\ 2017-001/JavaForOSX.pkg ~/tmp"
do shell script "hdiutil unmount /Volumes/Java\\ for\\ macOS\\ 2017-001/"
do shell script "sed -i '' 's/return false/return true/g' ~/tmp/Distribution"
do shell script "pkgutil --flatten ~/tmp ~/Desktop/Java.pkg"
do shell script "rm -rf ~/tmp"
display dialog "Modified Java.pkg saved on desktop" buttons {"Ok"}

Like all 32-bit apps, Java 6 doesn’t run on Catalina.
If you need Java, you'll need to download a JDK from Oracle or the OpenJDK project.
Wonderful! Thank you so much !
