Nathan Mische – you may not typically re-post content but this sure is a great prospective solution!  Thank you for the great find, I still haven’t tried it – my wife won’t give me back my MacBook!

  1. In a terminal window, go to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Commands (cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Commands)
  2. Remove the symlinks (sudo rm -rf *)
  3. Copy the files from /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home/bin to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Commands (sudo cp ../Home/bin/* .)
  4. Run the CF installer
  5. Remove the files from /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK (sudo rm –rf *)
  6. Recreate the symlinks deleted in step 2 (sudo ln –s ../Home/bin/* .)

Maybe I won’t get it back, she just said “It’s MY notebook now…” I’ll keep you posted on how I regain possession of my MacBook from my wife’s grip!

Thanks!
