Hey guys, Tomcat: ver. 6.0.18 Java: open jdk->jre6b16 OS: Windows Server 2008 I'm trying to install a tomcat windows service using "service.bat install" which needs JRE_HOME. I currently have a custom action to run that command line during the "After Scheduled Reboot" Install Exec Sequence. I have set the JRE_HOME in the Environmental Variables menu: JRE_HOME: Value = C:\path\to\openjdk\jre On Install = Create Placement = Replace On Uninstall = Remove Type = System When the custom action is executed, the JRE_HOME does not seem to be set... C:\tomcat\bin>service.bat install Installing the service 'Tomcat6' ... Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\tomcat Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\tomcat Using JAVA_HOME: Using JRE_HOME: Using JVM: auto The service 'Tomcat6' has been installed. The service is installed, but when I try to start the service, it fails. After the installer finishes, if I manually reinstall the service, I notice this: C:\tomcat\bin>service.bat remove Tomcat6 The service 'Tomcat6' has been removed C:\tomcat\bin>service.bat install Installing the service 'Tomcat6' ... Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\tomcat Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\tomcat Using JAVA_HOME: Using JRE_HOME: C:\pathto\java\openjdk\jre6b16 Using JVM: C:\pathto\java\openjdk\jre6b16\bin\server\jvm.dll The service 'Tomcat6' has been installed. The JRE_HOME is set, and everything works fine at this point. I added a custom script to execute before the tomcat custom action and verify the existence of a JRE_HOME and create one if one does not exist, but again, until the installation finishes, and I reinstall the tomcat service does it recognize the JRE_HOME. Can anyone help me? -S ... View more

Hi folks, One of my custom actions caused an error during the uninstall -so I am forced to remove my application via deleting its corresponding registry values. Before I begin, will deleting those registry values allow me to (Run/Uninstall) within Installshield? Currently, if I try to run or uninstall within Installshield I run into that error I mentioned earlier. Will installshield recognize that my application has been removed (via registry)? Thanks in advance! -Sean ... View more

Hi, I currently have 2 partitions (C: and D:) on my machine, and for some reason the installer installs onto the 😧 by default, but when I specify the installer to install on C:, not all the folders are copied over. I did some more testing, and found that if the 😧 partition is not formatted, there are no problems - all the folders are copied over correctly. If I then run a uninstall, format the 😧 to NTFS file system, and run the install again, I run into the same problem as before. Does anyone know why this is happening? or where I can specify the default location for the files/folders that are copied over? Thanks in advance! -Sean ... View more
