Go download 3.02...You do need JRE 1.5 installed, but you can have 6 installed also...With 3.0 you must remove JRE 1.6...Still a JRE 1.5 application but at least the fixed Edit to work with parallel JREs which is actually a feature of Java that Line 6 implemented incorrectly in 3.0...

BTW-IF you get tired of Edit, there is an application at VettaVille called TweakWizard...Written in C++ it has no install and requires nothing to get it running under windows...You can have Edit installed also, but you must only use one application at a time because of the commnuication over midi...

I'm having similar problems...  and for me the various replies on this, and similar threads, have left me a little confused.

The Line 6 Downloads site says L6 Edit 3.02 is "compatible with JRE6".  I've tried installing 3.02 with on my laptop which already has JRE version 6 update 13 installed and it doesn't work.  I get the can't find the runtime environment error.  Incidently the readme file that gets installed contains the release notes for a beta version of Edit 3.0, not 3.02, so is the link on the downloads page giving me the wrong file?

Some posts (LoonyBin-Fizzbin) say L6 Edit 3.0 requires JRE5, L6 Edit 3.02 requires JRE 6.

Line6Andy  says "Line 6 Edit 3.02 will automatically install Java 5 update 11 to ensure that Line 6 edit will work correctly.    Be aware that using an earlier version of Line 6 Edit will not launch if ANY Java Runtime 6 Environment components are installed."  So how how can L6 Edit 3.02 be "compatible" with JRE 6 if you have to install JRE 5 to make it work?

I don't really know anything about Java so Final question, is it possible to have two versions of Java installed at the same time, or will letting the L6 Edit installer install Java version 5 trash the previous installation of version 6?

Apologies if these are all questions that have already been answered but frustration is getting the better of me at the moment.  I have been able to download and install Monkey and drivers for my Pod XT, backed up my tones, updated the firmware etc all without a hint of a problem.  Line 6 Edit on the other hand is a totally different story!

Sorry guys but where is the 3.02 version of the line 6 edit? I can't find it. In the downloads is only the 3.01 and below/

Thanks

I installed Java JRE 5 u21  Standard Edition- then I installed the Line 6 edit 3.0.2 and it worked- so you must have JRE5- or at least some of us who are having problems do!-  I talked to tech support and they said I shouldnt have to download JRE5  but they said for some reason some people do- for me it worked- so thanks Forum- and Karavis!

Let me try to put this in perspective.

Line6 has not released a [promised long ago] update to Edit in over 2.5 yrs. They will not do so now.

The issue is that the application load uses a deprecated java method [in v5] that was removed from the v6 RTE, so it will not work with that, or newer versions.

It is up to us to figure out how to make it work on newer systems - up to the point we can no longer do so.

Like any company, L6 has limited developer resources and has decided to place their development $$ with Monkey and other newer products.

You could try removing v6 and v5 from your machine.. get both versions from sun, re-install and then re-install Edit ?

If you can't get Edit to work, please try TweakWiz...  its available from vettaville.nl downloads section and is a C++ app.

back to your OP..

even with L6 edit working, you cannot move the Univibe pedal before the pre-amp !!!

The effect order is not moveable on the Flex.

Hey,

I had the same problem. Seems the newest version of Java that was available did not register as a Runtime Environment in my program list, it was just appearing as Java Update 6 Version 17. I just went to the SunMicrosystems website and went to the archives and downloaded the last version of Java Runtime Environment that was available. Here is a link to the site https://dct.sun.com/dct/forms/reg_us_0809_225_0.jsp. Fill out the required fields marked with a * and it will send you an e-mail with the link to download JRE 5.0. Install that and your Line 6 Editor should work with your processor/pedal. It worked for me.
