Enterprise 3.1 Install Problem

I have tried to install the current Alfresco-Enterprise-3.1.1-Full-Setup install on a Windows XP virtual machine. The install fails due to not being able to find Java. The install log is:Error in action LocateJavaRuntime: expected version number but got "jre1.5.0"Error in action LocateJavaRuntime:

Can you tell us the path of the JAVA_HOME variable that is set on your environment?

JayJay,

No problem. The JAVA_HOME is set to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16" as displayed by the echo command.

This one really has me stumped!

What does "java -version" say? You could be picking up the wrong version of java from the command path.

I think we are getting warm folks! Here is the output of "java -version"

C:\Documents and Settings\warren3>java -version
Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion'
has value 'jre1.5', but '1.5' is required.
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.

I have done several java installs but clearly something didn't take. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Fred

Further update. Edited the Windows registry and changed the referenced location to "1.6". Restarted and tried install again. Same problem. Changed several other registry entries that had the jre1.5 string to 1.6. No effect on install.

Thoughts?

I might say a dumb thing, but have you tried to just follow the newbie path to install Java 6 on your computer (google "Java 6", find an installer, install etc …) ?
Does not that work ?

JayJay,

Not a bad suggestion at all. I got the latest version (16) of the Java SDK and did a reinstall. It asked whether I wanted the previous version 16 uninstalled and I said yes, so it wiped out my old version 16 and put in a brand new fresh one. I did a reboot and tried the Enterprise install again. No luck. Same darn problem. SO, anyone got some additional thoughts? I am beginning to lose faith in Alfresco.

and now, what is the result of java -version ?

JayJay,

Not much change on the Java version (seems to be stuck on Java 5):

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\warren3>java -version
java version "1.5.0_21"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_21-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_21-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

C:\Documents and Settings\warren3>

I think you should first aim at managing to successfully install java 6, and then get your hands back on Alfresco troubles.
I'm sorry, I know it's not much help …
