Java problem in CTC 8.6

Colin Higgins
Level 2
Level 2

We have an optical network with ONS 15454 devices that run CTC 8.6

I have tried to run CTC from machines above Windows XP with no luck (I've tried Windows 7 and Server 2012). I have tried JRE version 1.4 through 6.

I get "error launching CTC" every time (or different errors), and I never get the login prompt.

Is there anything I can possibly do here?

delete a CTC cache and relaunch CTC

b. Click Tools > Internet Options.

c. Click the Security tab.

Sites.

OK, I got this to work in both Windows 7 and Server 2012

You have to do the above steps and download the Enterprise Java SDK

You need to add the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the server, then bounce the box.

When you go into CTC for the first time, it will prompt to install Java 5 -say yes

You have to do the steps above and these for every user on the machine.

Great. Thank you for addional information

Is there an update to this post regarding CTC 8.5 and Java 7u45?
