java runtime 6 (crazy) install problem - OS X 10.7.5
Hello everyone,
I have been reading the various threads on this issue, but found no answer to my problem:
I am under Lion version 10.7.5 - MacBookPro
I need Java 6 for a program I use for my work.
When I want to install from Java Preferences, i get the following message:
"To open “Java Preferences,” you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet." But I AM connected to the internet.
Accroding to waht I read, I went to the Apple download files and downloaded JavaForOSX.dmg file...
But when I want to install it, I get the message:
"Alert: A newer version of this package is already installed."
When I run terminal java -version
The answer is "No Java runtime present, requesting install."
And thus I am back to where I started...
If you could help that would be incredibly helpful!
Thanks
Helene
