Can't install Aggregrate on OS X Mavericks 10.9.5

Support
1

I'm running OX S 10.9.5 on a macbook pro.
I have the most up to date version of Java installed (Version 7 Update 67, the one available a thttp://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp)

When I try and run the ODK aggregrate installer I always get an error saying:

'You need a 1.7 JRE Installed'

And directing me to the java website - of the same JRE i already have installed.
My Java settings are on the most permissive security setting (medium).
I tried on a colleagues macbook (also Mavericks, also Java 7) and he gets the same error.

Thoughts/suggestions welcomed,

Michael

As a wild guess to get started (all of this is on 10.7.5, not Mavericks):

In a terminal, what is the output of "java -version"?

For reference, my output looks like:

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

As a couple other ideas, do you have the JAVA_HOME environment variable
set? You can try this by typing "echo $JAVA_HOME" in the terminal and
looking at the output.

My output looks like:

$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_21.jdk/Contents/Home

Here is an article explaining the above and how to set the JAVA_HOME to the
correct location:

Hi, I have an identical hardware setup and encountered a similar problem in the past. Even though version 7 indicates that it includes JRE 1.7, the package on my machine indicated 1.6. I downloaded the full JDK, Version 8, and all worked fine: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8u25-relnotes-2296185.html

Hope this helps.
