Quote from napovak »Then, copy the methods provided on this site: www kunaldua com/blog/2006/06/how-to-force-reinstall-java-on-mac-os-x/.
Which basically tell you to: (1) Run the new Java 6.0 program to see if it will install itself (likely not). (2) “In Finder, go to folder /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Resources and move the files “version.plist” and “Info-macos. Phonerescue License Crack. plist” to a safe place like the Desktop”. Likely this will require a copy/paste and then a delete of the two files in thier native folder. (3) Run the installer again, and hopefully it will work this time, otherwise??? (4) Go into Applications >Utilities >Java >Java SE 6 >Java Preferences. Under the ‘General’ tab change the “Use version: “ to Java SE 6 and move the Java SE 6 logo under “Java Application Runtime Settings” to the top.
(5) Check to see if it worked by going into Terminal (Applications >Utilities >Terminal) and typing in: java –version. It should say something about Version 1.6.0. If it doesn’t work, be sure to move those 2 files back to their native folders, and perhaps try the soylatte route. It worked for me and I still kept those 2 files just in case.
