Trouble installing

[KenVee]

It keeps complaining that it needs the legacy Java SE 6 runtime - I have JDK 8 release 25 installed on Yosemite

The Java JRE installers only configure a system to run Java apps within Safari. They do not configure OS X to run Java based apps.

Check the section "After I updated to Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), why am I told to install Java after I already installed the latest Java?" in https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_mac.xml, which also has a link to this - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572

Afterwards, you may be required to download and install the Java JDK, which will allow you to run Java based apps on OSX. I believe some of this is covered in the README file of the CPC zip file.

Thanks - all working now

BTW because of some oddity on the Apple Site I had to download the Java in Parallels (Firefox) then install it in OS X

That is strange.

Also note, the official Vault Cross Platform Client was released as a part of Vault 8. See http://www.sourcegear.com/vault for more details.

Thanks - I had been waiting for that
That will be another weekend lost to an upgrade (well an hour or two)

If you're coming from Vault 7, it shouldn't be too bad. Just make sure you have a good backup of the sg* databases.

Also, in case you've already run some of the previous Preview releases, see the README file regarding resetting the local .metadata/ directory.
