Which version of Java is installed with MassLynx? - WKB1821

ENVIRONMENT

• MassLynx
• Java

ANSWER

Java has been removed from MassLynx 4.2* Java will no longer be present in future MassLynx SCNs except where required in Application managers (ChromaLynx and OpenLynx Browser molecule display)

* Started with MassLynx 4.2 SCN 1024 for the Xevo TQD, Xevo TQ-S micro and Xevo TQ-XS and then subsequent versions do not install Java.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

MassLynx installation prior to SCN 1042 requires that the correct Java versions are present. If they are not present, the MassLynx installer installs them before installing MassLynx. The installation fails if the correct version of Java is not installed or detected.

These older versions of MassLynx may be able to use the most recent version of Java. If the version is subsequently upgraded to a later update, MassLynx will try use that, but it may result in scripting errors in MetaboLynx. However, the software configuration will no longer be officially supported, as that version of MassLynx was not tested with later versions of Java.

Upgrade to later MassLynx versions to avoid the Java issue.

Older ACQUITY Driver Packs may install a newer version of Java to support Connections Insight.
