Hi Community,
Since upgrading to macOS Sierra, when I try to open Adobe Illustrator CS5, I get the message, To open “Adobe Illustrator CS5” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. When I click on more info it opens a blank page. Can somebody tell me how to remedy/resolve/install this?
Does apple have a link for legacy Java SE 6 runtime?
iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12)
You are absolutely correct. Apple doesn't offer the SDK—hasn't in many years—only the JRE. Since Oracle bought SUN, they can't.
The JRE meets the needs for those of us running Adobe CS5 & 6, Finale 2014.5, MasterWriter 2, SmartScore and many other 32bit apps that still run in High Sierra — if you have the JRE 6.
The 2015-001 installer works in OS 10.13 but not 10.13.1.
I must confess that I have never encountered a Mac app that required the SDK instead of the JRE, development tools excepted (the earlier post about LibreOffice is wrong on that point).
Blurb might want to consider updating to 64bit. As Apple has announced that OS 10.14 will drop 32 bit, it's way past time.
BTW, I was responding to the original post that began this thread.
Just what i needed, thanks.

Hi there,
I've just faced the same challenge with while installing Eclipe IDE. I was wondering if you sorted it out.
Thanks
Can't see the link...
You're on page two of this topic. Scroll to the top or bottom and click the left arrow button (next to where it says "Page 2") to go to page one. The link as posted two or three times.
Thanks Kurt!
I need legacy Java SE 6 runtime please
There is no "fresh" or updated link. The link just six posts above by Eric on this same page of responses is the one you want.
There is a new installer that works correctly in High Sierra OS 10.13.1. It's 2017-001 and you can download it here:
