Re: pcAnywhere 12.5 on Mac JRE / JVM Issue Mac OS X 10.5.0 Leopard with no software updates includes:
- Java 1.4.2 Update 13 (32-bit)
- Java 1.5.0 Update 13 (32-bit and 64-bit)
After running Software Update and grabbing all the updates that Apple offers, OS X includes as of today:
- Java 1.4.2 Update 21 (32-bit)
- Java 1.5.0 Update 19 (32-bit and 64-bit)
- Java 1.6.0 Update 13 (64-bit)
Notes:
- Java 1.5.0 is also referred to as J2SE 5.0
- Java 1.6.0 is also referred to as Java SE 6
Java 1.4.2 has been deprecated and is extremely old, but it does exist in Leopard. The Java Preferences in the Applications > Utilities folder lets you choose the default Java version to use. You can try setting Java 1.4.2 as the default Java for pcAnywhere. Attached is a screenshot of this.

| Thank you very much, sadly at work I need to use a PC, but I will try this at home tonight. I will post my results this evening.
Thanks again. |

| My installation is now successful - thanks to the remote assistance of Symantec. 
Essentially on the Macbook Pro, Root user needs to be enabled, the Mac restarted and then logged in as Root user.
The steps in the link posted above should then be followed to make Java 1.4.2 the default version.
Once installation is complete, log off as root user, and in disable the root user again when logged back on as yourself.
Then, apart from having to configure pcAnywhere for the connection desired, all should be good. |
