Hi, I have java sdk 6.0 installed on my PC.I can install Alfresco without java 5 and use java 6 (installed on PC) or It is recommended to use java 5 embedded in Alfresco installation.Regards.

That's fine. You can use any Java installation you want.

I never use the optionally downloaded java found in \alfresco\java.
Instead I use a separately installed one.
Just make sure that the CLASSPATH environment variable is correct.

Incidentally, Java 6 is okay if you're just using Alfresco's DM features,
but if you also install Alfresco WCM, you'll find that Alfresco is incompatible with Java 6.
So, if you're planning to use WCM, stick with Java 5 instead.

Can you help me?
I will try to use embedded java 5.

Interesting.
The JVM is crashing - perhaps a bug in the JVM version you're using?
Try upgrading/downgrading the java version you're using, either by minor or major version number.

Perhaps it's a JNI thing. Try disabling the CIFS service for a while, and see if it gets any better.

I'm not able to disable cifs server:

Is this the cause of java virtual machine error?
