Java for Visokio Software

The lightweight version of Omniscope requires Java (version 5 or later) to operate. If you don't have Java installed at all (or have an earlier version such as Java 1.3) the Visokio installer will ask if you want to download and install "Java for Visokio software" automatically. This installs a private Java VM installation ('PVM') for Visokio products only, and will not affect other applications on your PC.

Sometimes your machine could have a more recent version of Java than the one supplied with the Visokio installer, but your installation is somehow incomplete or has become somehow corrupted. In other cases, your general installation may not have all the privileges required (see known Java issues). To deal with these circumstances, we provide a private Java VM installation that will override your system installation of Java.

Alternatively, if you have access and install privileges, visit www.java.com to check you've got the latest free Java plugin.

Download Java for Visokio

We recommend using the Full version of Omniscope, which is the default, which includes a private Java VM.  However, if needed, use the following links to download the private Java VM installer for Omniscope, separately.

Private Java VM for Visokio (32-bit, based on Java 6u4) (15MB)

Private Java VM for Visokio (64-bit, based on Java 6u6, for 64-bit Windows only) (13MB)

Not permitted to install software?

If your organisation prevents you from installing software, contact your IT Help Desk and get them to download and install Visokio applications for you. Alternatively try the Web Start online launch option on the download page.
