soapUI 3.6.1 install on Mac 10.5.8 fails

I've tried loading it as an Eclipse Helios plugin. It installs but fails to create a project or anything else I try. I also tried install the standalone soapUI app and the installer fails before it gets any where. Any suggestions?

    Looks like I'm running 1.5 After reading your post I did some deeper looking on the site and saw that I need 1.6. Looks like I'll be fixing that Monday morning. Thanks

    I used the Java Preferences pane and noticed that 1.5 had priority over 1.6. I made 1.6 the first in the list to use. Still didn't help. I've tried the 3.6.2 as well as the 3.6.2.1-snapshot soapUI versions and neither will run. I'm completely stumped on how to get this to install.

    I'm adding the error I'm getting in my logs.

    Hello

    I had the same problem on my Mac and I found the solution. All you need to do is follow these steps:

    1. Copy the soapUI 3.6.1 Installer on Desktop (because you cannot modify it on read-only disk image)
    2. Replace the 'JavaApplicationStub' in soapUI 3.6.1 Installer with the one from your system:

    $ cp /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub /Users/<USER>/Desktop/soapUI\ 3.6.1\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/

    3. Run installer and install soapUI
    4. Repeat step 3 for installed soapUI application:

    $ cp /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub /Applications/eviware/soapUI-3.6.1.app/Contents/MacOS/


    I hope it works now.
