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.

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.

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...

Thanks for the mention of the /norestart option - that's good to know about.
