I am trying to upgrade Blackboard learn 9.1 to the latest service pack. I have successfully instaslled SP9 and am now trying to install 10, but to do that I've had to install a newer version of JDK. When I changed the JAVA_HOME to reflect this change the installer was reporting that it was still set to the previous version. I restarted the server and now that error has gone, but instead I am getting:
Java SDK location not found at C:/Java/jdk1.6.0_32.
Can anyone tell me why it is still looking in the path to the old version, and what I can do to change it?
Someone from Blackboard was able to help with this in the end, and the answer is as follows:
If running on Windows, when installing the Java SE Development Kit (JDK), make sure that both the JDK and the JRE components are installed to different locations. Also, ensure that there are no spaces in the path name to either the JDK or the JRE. Shut down Bb-Services Install recent version of the Java SE JDK, at least version 7u7 Change the JAVA_Home environment variable
Change the config\bb-config.properteries, changing the paths for bothbbconfig.java.home and bbconfig.java.home.win. Paths need to have forward slashes not the standard Windows backslash.
