This is one of those errors that has been around for a while but doesn’t happen until you install a new OS (or reinstall one) so it’s hard to remember what the problem is and how to fix it.

Here’s a much more detailed path as described by Amazon:

    This Amazon forum helped my issue when just installing Java and Quartz didnt help. It involves a few lines of code that you have insert into the app code to point it to the correct version of Java.
