Possible to install xMII 11.5 on machine with JDK 1.4 and JDK 1.5?

[Former Member]

I'm trying to setup a demo of xMII 11.5 (SR1) on my laptop which has both JDK 1.4.2_07 and JDK 1.5.0_09. The installation fails saying that xMII 11.5 is not compatible with JDK 1.5. Is there any way to get the installer to see the JDK 1.4.2 installation without having to uninstall JDK 1.5? Removing JDK 1.5 is not an option.

Thanks,

Hello Tim,

I believe if you upgrade to SR2 you shouldn't have a problem as it is compatible with JDK 1.5.

The only way to do the install of SR1 would be to uninstall JDK 1.5, install xMII, then re-install JDK 1.5.

Hope this helps,

I had to uninstall both JDK 1.5.0 and JDK 1.4.2, then re-install JDK 1.4.2 before xMII 11.5 SR1 (followed by SR2 patch) would install. Then I re-installed JDK 1.5.0 and all seems okay. A bit of a pain in the rear, but I didn't have time to finesse the solution...

Thanks all,

Hi, Tim.

With latest service release and hot fixes, yes. Also be sure to get the latest JDK 1.5.0_10 (there was a nasty memory leak with early JDK/JRE's related to server-side image rendering).

Heck, I even have it running on JDK 6.0
