Maverik problem? M4L doesn't load.

I cleaned out both Max6 and LIVE9 for reinstall but M4L doesn't load. The error message: "Max for LIVE will not work properly unless Java is installed. Please restart Live after Java installation is finished". I have Java and everything was working until I stupidly upgraded to OS 10.9.1 Was there a warning not to?

Apple removed Java from OS x 1.9 (indeed without a warning). You simply have to reinstall it.

Thanks, I did install Java but it still doesn't work (same error) :( Maybe reinstall Max6 and Live9 again? I need to do a demo this morning in a few hours so I give up on M4L now....sometimes you wonder about this whole thing... :(

Did you install the Oracle or the Apple Java? I don't remember wich one is required....

See I didn't even know there were two! I did this one: oracle I think.

Should I do the apple java?

I went to the system preference following this link and it says I have the updated Java. I don't know what this means, oracle or apple??? "Your system has the recommended version of Java. Java 7 Update 51"

You have the Oracle package. try the apple package here (though not 100% if this will solve it):
