Received this error "Java 7 must be installed before installing EMC recoverpoint storage adapter" when installing EMC RP SRA 2.2.
Steps:
1) Installed Java 7. Error still.
2) uninstalled java 6 and 7, reboot, reinstall 7 from java site. Error still.
3) right click on RP SRA and install as admin. Error still
4) Found SRA logfile in localsettings\temp\2\MSI673b8.log. log file said it Looked for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment" then a few lines later thew the error
5) checked registry... no HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment
6) installed jre-7u40-windows-x64.exe from IE
7) still no HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment
8) uninstalled java 7 and rebooted
9) right click on jre-7u40-windows-x64.exe and run as administrator. Checked registry and had HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment this time
10) right click on RP SRA and install as admin.
8-10 is probably all that is needed.
Opened a ticket with EMC before I found the log file. Still have not heard back but will let them know also.
Hopefully this helps
Cheers,
