How to create .vm pack.

[cgouri]

I am trying to build a VM for the JRE version SunJRE160_24Win.
I followed the steps mentioned in the url
http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalID=Q000195 to create the VM pack.

It is not working. I tried using both Winzip and 7-zip for creating the vm.zip file without compression and then the .vm.

My question is can I use winzip or 7-zip software to create vm.zip and .vm file or shud I use somthing else? What settings should I make while making the zip files?

The issue could be in the way I am zipping the files.

I successfully used WinRar or you can use zip under Linux.

Thanks for the reply.

Now am able to pack the vm. The issue was the directory structure that I used was not proper.

Here is the proper directory structure :

.vm
-- vm.properties
-- vm.zip
-------- bin
-------- lib etc.

Previously it was :

.vm
-- vm.properties
-- vm.zip
---------- vm
--------------- bin
--------------- lib etc.

Yeah, unfortunately the structure is different under Windows and Unix. If I'm not mistaken, under Windows you have to zip the jre folder.

yes, you are right. on windows we have to zip.
