Error! FRM-92095: Oracle Jinitiator version too low. Please install version 1.1.8.2 or higher

Brought a couple new PCs up recently and ran into the subject nasty error when attempting to access EBS.  We’ve run into this before and we usually get it worked out one way or another.  This time proved to be a bit challenging for some reason…  Thought I would post the solution that we used and seems to work consistently.  I’ve found other posts out there as well that reference some combination of these steps.  For now, this will be my reference moving forward.

• Uninstall all existing Java installations on machine
• Uninstall all existing J2SE Runtime Environment installations on machine
• Restart the machine
• Install JRE 6u45
• Open the Control Panel
• Search for Java; clicking the link will open the Java Control Panel
• Select the “Java” tab
• Click “View…”
• Double click the field under “Runtime Parameters”
• Enter this line: -Djava.vendor=”Sun Microsystems Inc.”
• Click OK
• Click OK
• Open IE and go to Oracle EBS and invoke a form to come up
• It will ask to install J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 13
• Install J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 13
• Restart the machine
• Open IE and you should now be able to open Oracle EBS

 This has been tested on x64 flavors of Win7 and Win8 using the x64 installer for JRE.

 Note: Disable the automatic updater within the Java Control Panel after all the steps listed above
