I think InstallAnywhere 2011 SP3 breaks detection of downloaded JVM on Windows. (It works on Linux.)
I cannot figure out how to test if it is SP3 since I don't know how to retro to SP2 and my last saved installer was 01-29 and SP3 was installed on 01-26.
Using "ctrl" key while running Windows installer shows debug log that confirms that my URL is good and my JVM is downloaded and extracted correctly. InstallAnywhere then give error, "could not find a valid java virtual machine to load". Besides confirming JVM is good by running successfully on Linux, I also confirmed good downloaded JVM by switching option to "Don't search for VM; download from URL".
So I can only conclude that InstallAnywhere SP3 has a bug for detected a downloaded JVM. Can anyone else confirm? Can Flexera test and provide a fix?
Here are some of my project settings that are interest:
- Build > Build Configurations > Build Targets > Windows: Without VM Search for VM; if not found, download from URL JVM Search Settings: (tried them all) spec files from Flexera Windows spec file without ctl-m line feeds even no spec file which documentation says will allow any JVM
- Project > JVM Settings > Installer Settings: Installer Valid VM List: 1.4+ Bundled / Downloaded Virutal Machine: Install Bundled / Downloaded Virtual Machine: Only when a compatible VM is not found in the system VM Install Folder: User Install Folder/JRE Do not remove bundled / downloaded VM when uninstalling
- Project > JVM Settings > Search Panel Settings: General: Use installer's valid VM list (1.4+) Windows: (default settings)
- Project > Platforms > Windows: Launder JVM Selection: tried all of them but want "Use 64bit JVM, if not available use 32 bit JVM"
