Line 6 Edit on Windows 7 32bit

I installed Line 6 Edit version 3.02(which says "This version of Line 6 Edit is compatible with JRE 6") on a Windows 7 32bit PC. I also installed the Java environment JRE 6 Update 16.

I'm getting "Could not find valid Java runtime" error message when I launch Line 6 Edit.

Any idea on how i could resolve this issue?

Thanks alot for your time,

Re: Line 6 Edit on Windows 7 32bit

Have you tried downloading and running Java 5 as well as Java 6. Although it's compatible with Java 6, Edit still needs Java 5. Just give it a go and see what happens.

Cheers,

Crusty

    Install Java 5 and everything will work fine. Line 6 Edit needs Java 5.

      Went the Java 5 route after posting here. No luck either. With both or either 5 and 6. Got it to finally work by using Jbuster from vettaville.nl.

        What is JBuster and how do I get it. My new laptop is running Windows 7 and I've tried everything to get Line6 edit to work. Line 6 really needs to create a patch. Anyone heard from Line6?

        With the correct version of Java 5 (1.5.0_13) and Line 6 Edit 3.02 (make sure it's 3.02), you won't need JBuster. But you must have the correct version of Java installed and running. Check your Java settings to make sure that you have 1.5.0_13 installed and running.
        
        Double check that Java 6 didn't switch off Java 1.5.0_13.

        Interesting. I had the same symptom on my Windows 7 Pro x64 system (Line6 Edit cannot find Java). I have Java 6 loaded. I next loaded Java 5, jre-1_5_0_11-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe, and Line6 Edit worked without JBuster. I wonder how Line6 Edit is programmed that it must use Java5 classes. Seems to defeat the whole purpose of Java programming, the "program once, run everywhere" language... LOL. (Sorry, I hate Java and I'm a programmer for 30 years) thorne

Re: Line 6 Edit on Windows 7 32bit

I know I am a little late to the game, but... When you install Java 5 after Java 6 in Windows Vista or Windows 7 the runtime version does not get loaded into the Java Runtime Environment Settings. I cannot confirm this is going to solve your problem as I use an old XP machine for my Line 6 stuff (currently running Vista Ultimate 64 and 7 Ultimate 64 on my primary machines), but I am SURE that the runtime is not there until you add it manually. I tested that part to be sure. Go to control panel>java control panel>java tab>find and search for the bin folder for your Java 5 build (location will vary depending on 32 bit or 64 bit machine but will be in one of the program files folders). Hit next once you have the bin folder selected, and it will search for available runtimes. Have it add your 1.5 runtime, and you should be OK without jbuster. In XP, the 1.5 runtime will load automatically even after 1.6.

  I've been looking around all over for a patch/fix for using Line6 Edit on Windows 7, and I did the Java 5 install (followed the directions to find the runtime script in the bin folder) and it works great now! (BTW I'm using Win7-64bit)
  
  Thanks for the help!

    I'm glad someone had a chance to test it (adding the runtime) and that it worked.

Re: Line 6 Edit on Windows 7 32bit

It's amazing to me that line6 has had this problem with their software for quite sometime and done nothing about it. I would appreciate any help anyone has. I"m running Windows 7 and having the same problem...cannot find valid java runtime. Cannot get jre to intiate.

  Re: Line 6 Edit on Windows 7 32bit
  
  I couldn't agree more. This is true of Mackie as well with thiere poor support of Firewire interfaces and leaving the problem to the forums to fix. Why don't they just fix the software so it works with the latest version of Java???
  
  They should be embarassed by this but I guess they sell enough products to not be concerened. I'm pretty reluctant to buy another product from these guys due to issues like this.

Re: Line 6 Edit on Windows 7 32bit

Also quite important is that you install the 32 bit version of the Java 5.0.13!!!
Line 6 Edit won't work with the 64 bit one.

Made it work for me after adding a searchpath in the Java Controle Panel.
You will find it in the x86 folder under Windows program folder.

Take care all!!!

Re: Line 6 Edit on Windows 7 32bit

I also have a new Windows 7 64bit PC! I Have Java 6 but cannot for the life of me find where to download Java 5. Am I really that stupid or is it very hard to find. If someone could please post or send me a link it would be very much appreciated! I do have the newest version of Edit....so how I'm understanding it is all I need is Java 5? Do I need to uninstall Java 6?

Re: Line 6 Edit on Windows 7 32bit

Thank you to everyone who posted. I just got my windows 7/64bit running Line 6 Edit.

Steps i took:
1. Uninstalled Line 6 Edit and Monkey software
2. Uninstalled all Java (5 & 6) that i previously installed
3. Restart computer
4. Installed Java 5 (link in previous post)
5. Installed Line 6 Edit **Made sure the Java 5 component was not checked during install

Haven't installed Line 6 Monkey but everything seems to be working. Hooked up to Flextone III via usb/midi cable and editing tone.

thanks again.

  Pretty upset that my newly purchased Line 6 Bass Pod Live can't be edited on either my Mac with Snow Leopard or my PC with Windows 7 64 bit without all this hassle...
  
  Tried installing Line 6 edit after installing Java on its own. Still won't find the correct runtime. >:(

    Did you try manually adding the correct runtime through the Java control panel? If not, see my post earlier on this page.

  I am running Windows 7 64 bit edition.
  
  I did exactly the following steps and it's FINALLY working.
  Steps i took:
  1. Uninstalled Line 6 Edit and Monkey software
  2. Uninstalled all Java (5 & 6) that i previously installed
  3. Restart computer
  4. Installed Java 5 (link in previous post http://www.filehippo.com/download_jre_32/3446/ )
  5. Installed Line 6 Edit **Made sure the Java 5 component was not checked during install
  
  Step 4 note: I believe this is Java 5 update 14.
  
  Many Thanks
  and yes, it's painful.

Re: Line 6 Edit on Windows 7 32bit

Found another Fix....

1) Download and install line 6 edit.... during installation it would say that it needs the "Java environment" thing go ahead and install EDIT without that....
2) Line 6 Edit would appear on your desktop.... Right click choose "properties" - then the "compatibility" tab. Then, below the "Run this program in compatibility mode for".... choose windows vista in the drop down menu below.... Click APPLY and OK..
3) Now you need to download the "Java Environment" thing..... from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp... choose
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 22...

Download that and try opening up EDIT...... you should be good to go....

Thanks
