I would defer to support, but there was a security issue with log4j. It was likely removed for that reason. I'd think if you need to use it, you'll want to provide it yourself and make sure the one you use has the fix.

Have you tried unchecking the option mentioned in the error message? We ran into this and that was enough - we didn't have an uninstaller as we did not need one.

Found the release notes for IA 2023 R2 here: https://docs.revenera.com/installanywhere/rn/Content/helplibrary/InstallAnywhere2023_ReleaseNotes.htm Not sure when it was updated for R2 content.

I agree with HuanYang. There is a new release of IA23 (R2) and there is NO news about it. Unless you happen to try to download IA, you would not know R2 had been released. Please keep the forum up to date with the releases of your software. Thanks.

I don't think that would be possible. The installer extracts a JDK/JRE out of the installer and places it in /tmp (or elsewhere you've directed). It then RUNS said Java platform. If it can't run, it can install anything.

I needed to contact support for a different issue but got this question answered at the same time. The .vm files are provided for 'our convenience' and we're free to make our own from any JRE.

I needed to contact support for a different reason and got this question answered. Yes, a JRE is all that's needed. The .vm files provided for download are for 'our convenience' and some are full JVMs. By using a JRE, I'll be able to make the size of my installer much smaller.

I don't know why, but it seems very difficult to find documentation on this via internet search. I tend to bookmark these pages as they're so hard to find. You're all set, it's still there. Here are two links, one talky and the other the API. https://docs.revenera.com/installanywhere2021/Content/helplibrary/ia_ref_ismp_callapi.htm#advanced_solutions_2317019866_1140807 https://docs.revenera.com/InstallAnywhereAPI/IA2012/javadoc/com/installshield/wizard/service/file/FileService.html Yes, the second one has IA2012 in the link - but I'm using IA2020 SP2 and use this class quite a bit. -Mike

The .vm files provided by Revenera for Windows 64 are really just zip files. I unzipped on and was surprised to find a full JDK - for instance, javac.exe was included. Is there a reason for using a full JVM? It's both larger and I thought wasn't made for redistribution.

mike_killoran · ‎Apr 06, 2022

In the release notes for 2021SP2 you state that you support IBM's 1.8.x and 9 JRE. However, the VM packs offered for AIX are JRE 1.5 and 1.6. Can you supply a supported JRE for AIX? Perhaps OpenJDK?

I see things left behind as well. You didn't mention what version you are on, I'm using IA 2018 and there is a hotfix that resolves at least some of the clean up.

Maybe you need to be admin. The first line says 'The requested operation requires elevation".

I had an end user getting a out of memory trying to install my software. I knew I could bump up the size in the project file, but I wanted to be able to fix a custom in the field. The IA 2018 manual says you can use this: install -jvmxmx 1.3G That brings up the box with the 'loading' progress bar, but one it gets to 100%, it just exits. I found the only way to get it to work is to spell it out in bytes: install -jvmxmx 1373741824 Hope this helps someone else. -Mike

I've seen this happen when a file that IA did not install exists in a directory. For instance, if your install has a directory c:\foo that contains 10 files, if you add a readme.txt to the c:\foo directory manually, IA will remove the files it installed, but leave c:\foo behind as c:\foo\readme.txt still exists.

Be aware that the download link on this page changes. A few weeks ago I downloaded ia-2018sp1-i-en.zip. Now the page has 2018sp1-k-en.zip. I'd rather this be public and not just silently updated...
