I'm attempting to use Squirrel on a Windows system with a locally-installed version of Caché/Ensemble 2014.1. Unfortunately, the version of the JRE on that system is 1.6, with which Squirrel is incompatible. Updating the JRE to 1.8 allows Squirrel to work, but breaks the JDBC gateway and client functionality in Caché. Both applications check the JRE version in the Windows registry on initialization, so messing around with PATH and CLASSPATH don't solve the problem.

Any thoughts?

 

PS. Upgrading to a more current version of Caché is not currently an option; this is a customer system.
