Oracle has updated Embedded Java and the current version is 8u91. Once again Patters installation package refuses to comply as it expects version 8u77. That version has been pulled by Oracle due to security problems and I couldn't find it anywhere. It's probably better that way but it means installing MimimServer on an ARM5 Synology-NAS currently is not possible.

Wrote Patters a message too and hope this gets resolved quickly.

You could try renaming the 8u91 file so that the patters package thinks it is 8u77.

Hi Simon
Yes, I tried renaming the file to 8u77 and it installed OK, but then won't run, so still no Java and no Minimserver.
Cheers,
