HOTFIX: InstallAnywhere HotFix for Windows Launchers
Summary
This is the InstallAnywhere HotFix for Windows LaunchersSymptoms
This HotFix addresses the following issues:| IOJ-1737900 | Without VM installer fails to launch using Java 8 Update 60 on Windows. The error displayed is ?Windows error 2 occurred while loading the Java VM?. |

Resolution
The HotFix is provided through a common patch installer for the following versions of InstallAnywhere and can be obtained by checking for updates from the InstallAnywhere IDE.- InstallAnywhere 2013
- InstallAnywhere 2014
- InstallAnywhere 2014 SP1
- InstallAnywhere 2015
The patch installer for the HotFix will only patch one instance of InstallAnywhere at a time. That is, if user has multiple InstallAnywhere versions installed, for instance, InstallAnywhere 2014 and InstallAnywhere 2015 are both present in the system, the user can choose to patch only one version/instance at a time. So if the user chooses to patch IA 2014, the installer will install the patch for that chosen instance of IA 2014 and exit. To patch another version/instance of the product, the user should run the installer again.
Below are the direct download links for the HotFix installers:
