First of all, I hate it when programs keep their own copy of Java! PSI [1.5.0.2] today flagged an unsuspected copy of Java 1.6x in my Docs&Settings/AllUsers/AppDate/Adobe/CS5/ jre directory. A Java update will only update the ProgramFiles/Java copy, so I have replaced the entire contents of [...]/CS5/jre with the files in ProgramFiles/Java/jre7, thinking that that would solve the problem. Unfortunately PSI still flags the Adobe/CS5/jre set as unchanged and unsafe. I have no idea how to tackle this. The same jre7 files are not flagged in the ProgFiles/Java directory, so why are they still unsafe in Adobe/CS5/jre? Any advice would be much appreciated! |

Yes Anthony, did that. No effect. And my PSI 1.5 does not have a Troubleshooting option. Desperate times, desperate measures. I zipped the entire CS5/jre/ folder into a safety copy and deleted the original. Secunia: "Java 6 "[threat] has been removed" Then copied the jre7 folder from the ProgFiles/Java dir. Secunia: "Java 7 [patched] has been installed" Renaming the folder jre7 to jre, after all. we do want Adobe to find it, confused Secunia: "Java 7 [patched] has been removed" Just to be sure I did a full scan: "No threats found". All that remains is the interesting question: will PS CS5 still function? So far it appears to work normally. Problem solved. But I hate it when programs keep their own secret (and often outdated) copy of java! John |

Feel free to lock this thread, Maurice. PS CS5 is still working and does not complain at all so I assume the problem has indeed been solved. Thanks. John |
