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?

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.
