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

Hi, Do you have this fix on top of IA2018? I don't have the SP1, but I need to support Windows 2019 So, I'd appreciate if this fix / hotfix is available/supported also on top of v2018. thanks -Diwakar

Hey @mike_killoran, we used IA 2015 but we are in the process of updating to the latest version, i.e., 2020. We didn't get any help from Flexera because IA 2015 already past the point of support. Ultimately, we found a link with some documentation suggesting a solution which worked for us: Somewhere in your Main class, you can add this: cliInstallerProxy.setVariable("$CHECK_DISK_SPACE$", "FORCE"); In our case, adding this worked to revert faulty installations by having no enough space. There is another workaround which is using an alternate temp directory: export IATEMPDIR=$HOME I hope this helps for you.

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.

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