Hmm. Shouldn't be a problem then...
Note that all software on the 9 installation CD is "ancient" - whether it is java, WIBU or whatever. So, not surprising that you would have to download a java update.
Since you are a US user, go to the US tech support web site:
http://tr.graphisoftus.com/
where you can click on ArchiCAD 9 and download the build 2219 hotfix; the installation guide there might also be helpful.
Will this hotfix install? If not, what message(s) do you get when you run it?
Under Utilities on the same web site, you will find an updated WIBU driver. Try that if necessary.
Review AC 9 articles on the Wiki:
http://www.archicadwiki.com/Archicad_9
Your crash could be related to QuickTime 7?

This other AC 9 crash:
http://www.archicadwiki.com/Bugs/Crashes_with_ArchiCAD_9_%28build_1812%29_INT_on_MAC_when_opening_ol...
was fixed by an earlier hotfix, so will not be an issue once you update your installation to build 2219
And, of course, consider contacting US Tech Support and/or your reseller if this is time and mission critical.
Cheers,
