Error installing ARIS Express 2.0 on Mac OS X

BTW,  Java version installed:

sundus:~ j$ java -version

java version "1.6.0_17"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04-248-10M3025)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.3-b01-101, mixed mode)

 

Hello,

you run into the problem described here: www.ariscommunity.com/users/frank-weyand/2010-02-26-aris-express-20-online-upgrade-instructions

There is a bug in the upgrade mechanism in the runtime platform provided by sun (Java). Sorry for inconveniences, but this does not lay in our hands.

After closing ARIS Express and restarting, it should work, doesn't it?

Bye,

Frank

No, I can't start Express at all now. After the upgrade fails, the app exits. Isn't the problem that we are

"Unable to load resource: http://download.ariscommunity.com/activation.jar"?

Hi,

how did you uninstall Express? Best way is to open the java panel and "delete the temporary internet files".

Did, after the install of Express 1.0, the network policy change?

Bye,

Frank

Frank,

Unistalling ARIS Express as you suggest, or even deleting the Temporary Interne Files in the Java control panel, does not help.

Best regards,

Bulat.

Frank, 

I have also had problems with a fresh install of Aris Express 2.0 on my Linux box. The problem is not related to an upgrade because there was no version 1.0 installed previously. Is no one else having problems with this new build 2.0?

Here's the Linux errors:

sorry, double post

 Hi,

oh, pardon me... Unix systems are not supported. Please look here: www.ariscommunity.com/aris-express/requirements

The "http://download.ariscommunity.com/activation.jar", like the other JARs, is not accessible correctly via browser.

The only thing you can try is to get back to an older JRE. I'd try to uninstall 1.6.0_18 and all other ones, and then install e.g. 1.6.0_10 (you can find this at here: java.sun.com/products/archive/)

Bye,

Frank

Hi Frank

It's getting a bit confusing. Aris 1.0 Express seemed to work on Mac OS X. At least it installed OK. Plus the link you mention says:

"ARIS Express should run on any operating system with a correctly installed Java Runtime Environment (JRE). For example, it should run on current Linux distributions, but you might experience some problems in the look & feel of the tool." Not installing is not just a "look & feel" problem. I do get the difference between "officially supported" and "should work" though.

I can try on the Linux box to downgrade to Java 1.6.0_10 but can you say why that specific version should be more likely to work?

EDIT:

BTW, in Linux I have Java 1.6.0_12 installed.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

well, only the systems defined on the given link are officially supported. We just say, that everybody's free to try the software on any other systems providing an appropriate JRE.

The reason why I thought 1.6.0_10 could be OK is, that unfortunately, it seams that Sun introduced new bugs in the download (and java.io.IOException: Corrupted pack file: magic/ver etc looks like one). Pity for us.

Bye,

Frank
