Hello, I've searched the forum but couldn't find an answer.
Does anyone know where I can find information on how to use IS 2008 to check for a Java install, detect the version, and if it isn't installed or it's the wrong version, install it?
Also, does anyone know where I can find info on installing a Java app on Windows (no exe) and have it launch on boot?
For MSI projects, I believe there's a JVM prerequisite that installs a JVM if not present; you should be able to view its settings (what it looks for on a target system to determine whether to run, what command it runs, etc.) using the Prerequisite Editor under the Tools menu.
As for launching the Java app, you'll presumably need to construct a command line that begins with java.exe, and launch that. Assuming the user agrees to run the application on each system boot, perhaps you could try writing the command to the Run key or creating a shortcut in the Startup folder?
