Installation woes on MacBook Pro

Hello Guys,
I'm having a hard time getting Sweet Home 3D to work on my new Macbook Pro Retina. I previously had it running without problems on my Mac Mini, which runs OS X Lion.
On the Macbook Pro, I have OS X Mountain Lion (18.8.2). When I launch the app, it says it needs Java SE 6 and prompts for an install. However when I click "install" (which should trigger the download + install process), it says the software is currently unavailable.
I've tried for several days and I always get this message.
I've installed java directly using Sun installation package and this is what I have now:
MacMimi-2:jre Mimi$ java -version
openjdk version "1.7.0-internal"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-internal-root_2012_01_27_18_44-b00)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode)
Turns out installing Java doesn't make any difference. It still says Java SE 6 is needed.
I've tried downloading and using the "portable" version but I get the same error when I click on the MacOS X app.
Any clues on how to get this to work please? Sweet Home 3D is a superb app and I would like to enjoy it on my new computer...
Cheers
JM
