Resolved Java 6 Runtime: CS6 Illustator Prerequisite?

[-BigMac-]

Hey Guys.

Turns out CS6 illustrator is forcing me to install Java 6 Runtime.

Given Java is on runtime 8 (i think) now, it seems counterproductive to downgrade to 6.

Who has managed to bypass this downgrade?

Oh, and given i have 8 runtime installed, it still won't let me open up Illustrator, same notification comes up. "install 6 runtime.."

Thank you

Installing version 6 will not downgrade newer versions. Different JREs are installed in different directories so that applications can choose the version they like best.

Found the solution.

Needs to be this exact Java 6.
