Windows installer uses the JRE set by JAVA_HOME, so Studio will not start if
JAVA_HOME is pointing to 1.4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DIRSTUDIO-283
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-283
Project: Directory Studio
Issue Type: Bug
Components: studio-installer
Affects Versions: 1.0.1, 1.1.0
Environment: Windows XP, JAVA_HOME=C:\Program\Java\jdk1.4.2_16
Installed JREs: 1.4.2_16, 1.5.0_13, 1.6.0_03
Tested on Directory Studio 1.0.1 and 1.1.0-RC1
Reporter: Dennis Lundberg
After installing Directory studio I try to start it. This fails with an error
message, telling me to look at the logfile (attached). Basically it's saying it
can't run Studio because it is compiled with Java 1.5.
Other installers for Windows, that creates an executable file to run a program
written in Java, usually have one of two options:
- Allow you to select which JRE to use during installation
- A configuration file where you can set the path to the JRE you want to use
I found a configuration file in ${installdir}/configuration/config.ini, but I
didn't find any instructions on how to change the used JRE. Perhaps it is not
possible.
I need to have JAVA_HOME set to 1.4 because that's what I need when running
java from the command line. However other GUI-based java applications doesn't
seem to mind this.
As a, not so pretty, work-around I have created a .bat file that resets
JAVA_HOME temporarily and the calls the Studio executable.
