i am installing jdk 1.5 on a machine
hi,
it may sound absurd but i am installing jdk 1.5 on a machine.
I would like to know what all registry entries i need to make for jdk on windows.

Hello James. Actually it doesn't sound absurd at all. But I wonder, why don't you use the JDK installer? You could use and execute command and wait for the JDK installation to finish before proceeding with your installer.

I think you can also get away without using the registry for the JDK. I believe you just need to set up a few environment variables (PATH, JAVA_HOME).

Not if you want to use applets...

hi ridch,
i do the same thing that is i set the PATH and JAVA_HOME.
Is that enough for installing jdk.
And one more problem is if execute the jdk installer how shall i make the user to wait till the installation of the jdk is over.

Yves indicates my approach might not work with applets. I'd keep this in mind.
To make the installer wait until the third party install is done, I check the box "suspend installation until process completes" (in the exec command dialog). I am using this to install Microsoft runtimes and a few other components.
I am mistaken as well. I'm installing a JRE - not the JDK. For my purposes, I use relative paths in the installer. Tomcat, JSW, and my other java apps are working ok with the relative path. I simply copy the JRE - I don't install it.

As long as you consider the JRE for your application(s) only, everything is fine. Just do not consider it as system wide installation.

hi,
even i am copying the jdk folder simply on the client machine.
Is my approach wrong somewhere ?
Or shall i start the java installer when the prop.java.vm.version does not equal 1.5.0_08.
Any ways what i do now is i have made a folder called mine which contains jdk
I copy it in the user install directory and make JAVA_HOME point to
$USER_INSTALL_DIR$$\$jdk.
And i append the $USER_INSTALL_DIR$$\$jdk$\$bin to the path.
And as far as i believe it works fine or shall start the installer of jdk.
OK can i make any registry entries for java so that it works fine
