Re: Tomcat 4 installer - testers needed
- Original Message - From: Remy Maucherat [EMAIL PROTECTED] I spent some time this afternoon trying Nullsoft Installer, and to see what it could do, I wrote an installation script for Tomcat 4.0. I'd like to get some feedback and testing on the generated installer. [...] It's a breeze to install on Win2K. Congratulation for taking the time to do it Remy, I'm sure that many people will appreciate this install. There's somewhat a cosmetic problem for the ASF license display but that's really no big deal. Cheers, Stephane.
RE: Tomcat 4 installer - testers needed
hello Remy, i have an idea for that problem of urs; if one can open the autoexec.bat or startup.bat(tomcat startup script), then we can directly insert the environment variables at run-time. how bout that? thanx in advance Hiten Pandya(15) [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Remy Maucherat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Tomcat 4 installer - testers needed Date: Sat, 14 Jul 2001 23:23:46 -0700 (PDT) MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: from [64.208.42.41] by hotmail.com (3.2) with ESMTP id MHotMailBD1A81FF0011400438DD40D02A2905DD0; Sat, 14 Jul 2001 23:24:00 -0700 Received: (qmail 8132 invoked by uid 500); 15 Jul 2001 06:23:42 - Received: (qmail 8120 invoked from network); 15 Jul 2001 06:23:41 - From tomcat-dev-return-24473-h_pandya5 Sat, 14 Jul 2001 23:24:05 -0700 Mailing-List: contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk list-help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> list-unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> list-post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Authentication-Warning: kali.betaversion.org: nobody set sender to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using -f Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] References: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] User-Agent: IMP/PHP IMAP webmail program 2.2.2 X-Spam-Rating: h31.sny.collab.net 1.6.2 0/1000/N Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Remy, I tried the Installation both win2K and win98. They did work pretty well. The only problem I noticed is that when JAVA_HOME is not set before installation some how "start Tomcat" Menu Item items Target is set to something like "C:\%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -cp " (that's called : The Explorer tries to be Smart Syndrome ;-)) This only happens if JAVA_HOME is not set before installtion though. Other than that everything looks cool. I don't know how we could get around that ... Or we can assume that java.exe is in the user's path. Jasper will need JAVA_HOME to run, though, to be able to use javac. Remy Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Jasper will need JAVA_HOME to run, though, to be able to use javac. kind of an unrelated question, but ... is there a jar file or something that can be distributed with tomcat that contains the compiler stuff so that only the jre is needed, not the jdk? i think i've heard you cannot distribute tools.jar (where i think the compiler is). -kevin.

RE: Tomcat 4 installer - testers needed
Remy, Probably we shoudln't be appending c:\ to JAVA_HOME if JAVA_HOME is not set(So that it works fine after JAVA_HOME is properly set).

Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Remy, Probably we shoudln't be appending c:\ to JAVA_HOME if JAVA_HOME is not set(So that it works fine after JAVA_HOME is properly set). If you look at the script, you'll notice that there's no c:\ in the link. It's just the windows explorer which gets smart and figures out I forgot the drive letter. I'll try to figure out a workaround. I think there's a command I can use to retrieve the value of an env variable, and see if it's blank (in which case, I can display a message and quit).

Re: Tomcat 4 installer - testers needed
hi Remy, all, i am right on the testing of the .exe file, i am currently using Win98 SE, so any report i make will be regarding Windows 98 SE version. thanx in advance, Hiten Pandya(15) [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Remy Maucherat [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tomcat 4 installer - testers needed Date: Sat, 14 Jul 2001 00:42:36 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: from [64.208.42.41] by hotmail.com (3.2) with ESMTP id MHotMailBD1942AF00504004314D40D02A2912900; Sat, 14 Jul 2001 00:41:36 -0700 Received: (qmail 91791 invoked by uid 500); 14 Jul 2001 07:41:20 - Received: (qmail 91782 invoked from network); 14 Jul 2001 07:41:20 - From tomcat-dev-return-24463-h_pandya5 Sat, 14 Jul 2001 00:41:37 -0700 Mailing-List: contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk list-help: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] list-unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] list-post: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivered-To: mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: 030b01c10c38$8d17be90$82deb018@c538761a References: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4522.1200 X-Spam-Rating: h31.sny.collab.net 1.6.2 0/1000/N Hi all, I spent some time this afternoon trying Nullsoft Installer, and to see what it could do, I wrote an installation script for Tomcat 4.0.
