java web start not working with this version

User754933-OracleAug 1 2011 — edited Aug 1 2011
I am using a web interface to a fiber channel switch.
The switch's software requires JRE 1.5 or LESS. I installed
JRE 1.6 (latest service pack) and then uninstalled it since
the interface didn 't work with it.
I still had IBM 32-bit Runtime environment for Java v5.0 installed.
That works fine with a different application that requires it.
But I get this error when trying to access the fiber channel switch
(a Brocade switch):

First I:
Open With "Java Webstart Executable (default)"

Then this appears:

Java (TM) Web Start - Launch File Error

"Unable to launch hostname_FCswitch1: EXManager"

Error details:
"An error occurred while launching/running the application.

Title: hostname_FCswitch1 : EZManager
Vendor: 6.2.1
Category: Launch File Error

Unsupported JNLP version in launch file: 1.6+. Only versions 1.0 and 1.5 are supported

with this version. Please contact the application vendor to report this problem."


Any ideas how to get past this? I don't have version 1.6+ of the JRE anyplace
anymore. And the JREs 1.5 and 1.4 (from Sun/Oracle) still yielded the same errors
when I installed them.
This, regardless of browser.
Please advise. Thanks.
