The new JRE 7 does not run with SmartPLS
running smartpls on mac
hi, I downloaded smartpls_2.0M3_macosx.carbo.pcc.zip on my mac (OSX version 10.6.8), it does not open.
Is there any way I can use the software on my mac without going on parallels? I don't have WIN7, I only have WindowsXP. At this moment I don't know how to do bootcamp. I am very cautious about fixing the mac by myself because my Applecare finished 3 months ago.
how can I use the file I downloaded?
I would be most grateful for your reply.
thanks very much.

No, SmartPLS does not work on MACOSX. You'll need to install Windows on your Mac using Bootcamp or Parallels to run SmartPLS on a Mac.khoojlyn wrote:Is there any way I can use the software on my mac without going on parallels?

To anyone who's trying to run SmartPLS 2 on their Mac:
I was able to successfully run SmartPLS 2 on my MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Version 10.8.2. You need the following:
1. Version of SmartPLS 2 with embedded Java JRE -- posted by Christian (Reference: downloads/smartpls/smartpls_2.0.M3_win3 ... ng_jre.zip).
2. PlayOnMac software that lets you download and run windows applications on your Mac. (Reference: http://www.playonmac.com/en/)
Download PlayOnMac, Install PlayOnMac, Run smarkpls.exe using PlayOnMac, and voilà!
Hope this helps.

About VMWare or Parallels
I believe that both can work without problem; however you can also try with VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org) that is an open source and free solution for virtualization supported by Oracle. This is what I use on my Mac to run Windows Apps and I have smatPLS working great!ca02363 wrote:Does VMware Fusion 5 instead of Parallel 7 work for running SmartPLS?

JRE 6
hi
JRE 6 is not available to be downloaded from the mentioned link
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... 13650.html
i downloaded smartPLS and activated it, but it does not look as it looks in demos. the function buttons dont appear. i still cant download JRE 6 because it is only available to be downloaded for organizations that have license.
thanks

But JRE6 allegedly has security bugs ...
Thank you for the prompt offering of an image with the JRE embedded - worked like a champ. However, that raises the concern that in some organizations, turning off Java 6 was a requirement, and some folks could be violating policy to be installing this.
Apologies if I missed it, but is there a fix so that SmartPLS works correctly with JRE7? I know it's annoying to have to make such changes, and I appreciate the work the SmartPLS team puts into this - just thought it best to have an answer in case I'm asked why I can't get rid of JRE6.
Dankeschoen!

SmartPLS 2.0 requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE) update 29 (IMPORTANT: 32 bit version!).
This software can be obtained (free of charge) for the computer operating systems Windows, Linux and Solaris.
PLEASE NOTE: SmartPLS 2 does not work with later version (e.g., JRE 7)!!! Everything was working fine including JRE 6 (version 29). However, Java's latest release, JRE 6 (version 31) and JRE 7, causee incompatibility problems with SmartPLS 2. When your bug report (approx. line 3) includes
"java.version=1.6.31"
or
"java.version=1.7.0",
then JRE 6 (version 31) or JRE 7 cause the problems (java.version=1.6.29 and earlier work fine with SmartPLS 2).
What are the solutions?
Solution 1
Just uninstall JRE 7 and install the JRE 6 update 29 (32 bit).
You find JRE 6 update 29 here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... 13650.html
If you want to use JRE 7 and SmartPLS you need to keep (or also install) JRE 6 (update 29) on your system. If you already have JRE 6 (update 29, 32 bit) on your hard drive, you can use it for running SmartPLS. You have two other options:
Solution 2 (RECOMMENDED SOLUTION)
Copy JRE 6 (update 29) into the SmartPLS folder to automatically use it on every SmartPLS 2 start.
Step 1: Identify the path to your JRE 6 (update 29, 32 bit) installation (e.g., c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe) or, if not available, install before JRE 6 update 29 (see solution 1; http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... 13650.html).
Step 2: Copy the content of the JRE 6 update 29 (32 bit) folder
Step 3: Identify the SmartPLS installation folder (e.g., c:\Program Files (x86)\SmartPLS)
Step 4: Create a JRE folder in the SmartPLS installation folder (e.g., c:\Program Files (x86)\SmartPLS\jre)
Step 5: Paste the content of the JRE 6 update 29 (32 bit) folder files into the jre folder in your SmartPLS installation (e.g., into c:\Program Files (x86)\SmartPLS\jre)
Then, SmartPLS should automatically use JRE 6 (update 29) on every start.
Solution 3
Use an already existing JRE 6 update 29, 32 bit (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... 13650.html) installation by adding a smartpls.ini to your SmartPLS 2 folder.
Step 1: Identify the path to your JRE 6 update 29 (32 bit) installation (e.g., c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe) and copy the path.
Step 2: Open a text editor program (e.g., text pad) and write the following rows:
-vm
c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe
The second row is the path to your javaw.exe in your JRE 6 update 29 (32 bit) folder from step 1 and may be different in your specific case (installation folder of JRE 6).
Step 3: Save the file as
smartpls.ini
in your SmartPLS 2 program folder (e.g., c:\Program Files (x86)\SmartPLS)
Then, SmartPLS should automatically use JRE 6 pdate 29 (32 bit) on every start.
We hope that things will continue to work!

Java that works
I tried intalling Java SE 6u45 32 bit version on Windows7 64bit machine and it works fine.
This version is still available for download on the Oracle http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... index.html website and does not require login.

Smart PLS works on Mac
Another alternative to run Smart PLS on your Mac without using bootcamp is to download the version for Windows and run it with a special software to run windows applications in other operative systems (Wine, Crossovers, etc.)
I personally use Wine (free software) and Smart PLS runs perfectly![/b]

After installing OpenJDK 1.6 from repository, I can run SmartPLS perfectly.
