JRE VM Packs
The files linked below contain Java virtual machines (JVMs) that can be bundled into cross platform installers built using InstallAnywhere.
NOTE: You can configure multi-platform installers so that the installation launcher will download a JRE VM pack from a URL that you specify, extract the JVM, and launch the installer using that JVM. However, the JRE VM packs listed on this page are provided for your convenience only and should not be directly referenced by your installation project. Therefore, do not instruct your installation project to download a JRE VM pack directly from the www.revenera.com website. If you do, the project build will fail. Instead, you should host the JRE VM pack on your own file server or FTP server and specify the URL to that location.
JRE VM Packs by Platform
JRE VM packs are available for the following platforms:
Installing a JRE VM Pack
To install a JRE VM pack, perform the following steps.
-
Click the download hyperlink to download.
NOTE: Your browser may change the file extension from .vm to .zip. If this name change occurs, rename the JRE VM pack file extension back to .vm.
- Save the .vm file to the /resource/installer_vms directory in your InstallAnywhere directory. This directory is the repository for all JRE VM packs.
- Restart InstallAnywhere if it is currently running.
Additional VM Pack Information
- For information on bundling a VM not found here, see the help that is installed with InstallAnywhere for instructions on creating a JRE VM pack.
- For information on how to create a VM pack, see KB article Q000195: Creating a VM Pack for InstallAnywhere.

VM Templates
To create virtual appliances, you need to obtain a VM template, a pre-installed virtual machine disk that contains an operating system and critical operating system packages. In InstallAnywhere, you can create your own VM templates using the Create InstallAnywhere VM Template wizard or via command line.
NOTE: You can also download pre-built VM templates during the installation of InstallAnywhere, or can download sample VM templates at any time from below:
Amazon EC2 based InstallAnywhere Sample VM Template
Users can download the InstallAnywhere VM Templates for creating Amazon EC2 based Appliances. Download the files and extract them to $IA_HOME$/resource/baseline_vms/amazon_ec2/
VMWare vSphere based InstallAnywhere Sample VM Template
For VMWare vSphere based appliances, download the following files and extract them to $IA_HOME$/resource/baseline_vms/vmware_esxi/
NOTE: Applicable for InstallAnywhere 2013 only, while the existing 32 bit templates can be continued to use as sample templates
