JRE error when install Zimbra Desktop 7.3.1 64bit

Post by djrobison »

I downloaded Zimbra 7.3.1 MD5 SHA256 Windows 10 64-bit version and when attempting to install received the error that Zimbra needs Oracle Jave Runtime v1.6 in order to run and the installation was aborted.

I downloaded and installed JRE vers 8 update 161 (build 1.8.0_161_b12) which was the most current version and I still get the same message when trying to install Zimbra 7.3.1.

I am looking for a new free email client that can manage multiple Outlook, Gmail and Yahoo accounts.

My research pointed to Zimbra being my best choice but I am frustrated that I cannot even install it.

Please provide any assistance in order for me to install Zimbra or suggestions for another version or another mail client if you do not think Zimbra is the best choice for me.

It is not a very good idea to install such an old and "filled with security leaks" Java on a machine :-(

THIS should be a release to install and use:

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_161-b12)

I had the same issue and I had to create a String entry on Windows registry.
run regedit.exe on Windows prompt, and create HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> JavaSoft -> Java Runtime Environment
Then, create a new String, with the value of your Java Version (1.6, 1.7, 1.8)
My version is 1.8.0_151, so I have set 1.8

I did this and it worked. Looks like the online version of java can not be used.

I fixed this with a download and install of the offline installer for Java.

https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

I removed the version that installed via the web installer and then installed the offline version and the install went as expected.

#java -version
java version "1.8.0_161"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_161-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.161-b12, mixed mode)
