Cannot install JDK7 update on machine with JDK8 EA installed

[Oliver Gierke]

Hi all,

I am unable to install the latest JDK7 update on a Mac (Mountain Lion). The installer immediately quits with "Higher version already installed!". Trying to report this as bug through the bug tracker I was directed to a page saying "If you have encountered a bug in a JRE not released by Oracle, please contact the specific vendor about your bug." This is probably not really up to date anymore as well.

Cheers,
Ollie
