    You will need to install Java 7 or Java 8. It appears that you are using Java 6.

    Don't use Java 8, currently there's a problem with SKC and Java8, go download Java7 until the Java 8 problem gets fixed

    Not entirely sure what you did, but that link leads to a weird screenshot of bing. Might want to try that again.

    Did you uninstall java 6? It may still be trying to use java 6 not 7 or 8.

    Well, similarly to Talons' Mac error - you may need to uninstall Java 6 or download the latest Java 7 JDK and set the JVM path. If for whatever reason, you need to keep Java 6 - set the JVM path towards the Java 7 JDK installation in the SKC launcher settings; however if you ONLY have Java 7 on your computer, Minecraft will use that by default (since it doesn't have a Java 6 to use).
