ZAC JRE installation location

Where does the ZAC put the JRE when it is deployed with the bootstrap
installer (i.e. when Load Own JRE is selected)? Sometimes I get it on
the
C:\ drive but on some NT computers I am getting it on the user's
homedrive/homepath. But...on one user that had a non-C:\
homedrive/homepath, ZAC still put the JRE on C:\!!
How can I know FOR CERTAIN where on the client's machine the JRE will be
installed. I need to know because my application is being subsequently
launched from a batch file and I need to create the batch file (created
at
install time) with the correct path to the JRE.
Also, the BEA documentation
(http://www.weblogic.com/docs/admindocs/zac.html#jre) says "the user
ultimately decides where the JRE shall be installed." How and when does
the
user get to decide the JRE installation directory? I know they can
select
the directory for the application, but the JRE doesn't end up in the
same
directory as the application.
Finally, please create a newsgroup just for ZAC. There is certainly
plenty
of interest and issues to warrant its own newsgroup.

I've had a similar experience. I think ZAC needs to be more flexible when it
comes to customization such as installation directories for JRE.

SOA Suite 11.1.1.6.0 Error - Please specify a valid JRE JDK location

I am very new to Oracle installations and I cannot get past the " Please specify a valid JRE/JDK location :" message when installing the SOA Suite.
I verified that all my prerequisites are in place.
No matter what path I enter, it ignores it and repeats the message. I made sure to install JRE in a directory path with no spaces. I have tried installing jre-7u9-windows-i586 and also jre-7u9-windows-x64. I also tried pointing the location to the jdk160_29/jre/bin directory created by the SOA installation (again, no spaces in my path). Nothing seems to work.
I am following the Quick Start Guide version 1.2 from August 2011 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/overview/quickstartguidesoasuite11gr1ps4-459545.pdf. I also looked at various postings and blogs.

Using axbridge.dll without going through the JRE installation process

I've searched the web and this forum for this specific problem, and have found related items, but nothing that quite answers the question.
I have an application that uses the JRE's axbridge.dll to access a DLL created from a Java bean. I used the packager to create a DLL named MyBean.dll.
When I go through the full JRE install, everything works great. That is to say, when I execute Sun's JRE installation program and go through the normal install process, I can access the bean through MyBean.dll without any problems.
I am accessing MyBean.dll from a Visual Basic 6.0 application. Converting to VB .Net is NOT an option at this time. The VB app uses MyBean.dll for a critical part of the application.
It is my understanding that it is not strictly necessary to go through the full JRE installation process. Simply deploying the JRE by copying its directory (and all subdirectories) to your application's directory structure should be sufficient. This would be HIGHLY desirable for my application. In fact, if I can't do this, it may be a show-stopper.
When I install my application in this way (i.e, by simply copying the JRE instead of "installing" it) it doesn't work at all. I immediately get an error saying that the executable "has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" and a dialog is displayed offering to send the problem information to Microsoft.
The details indicate clearly that the problem occurs in the axbridge.dll, version 1.4.2.60.
1. Any ideas on how to get the axbridge.dll to work without going through the full JRE install?
2. Are there any alternatives to using the axbridge.dll to get my VB app to be able to use the Java? Remember, it is VB that must call the Java, NOT the other way around.
3. Is JNI an alternative? If so, can I use JNI to get VB to use Java, or do I have to write the DLL's in C++?
Any help you can give would be VERY MUCH appreciated.

I'm also on a JRE installation problem with the bridge.
Here is a regmon extract on excel using a dll that uses a java-packaged dll from the bridge:
5229 5.69504923 EXCEL.EXE:2364 QueryValue HKCR\CLSID\{9DD49FCD-BB61-414E-88C8-E6F5B35AEDCB}\InprocServer32\(Default) SUCCESS "C:\win32app\Specific\jre1.5.0_05\bin\axbridge.dll" << The axbridge dll in a specific location

This is confirmed with process explorer : excel is using "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\lib\rt.jar" and not "C:\win32app\Specific\jre1.5.0_05\lib\rt.jar"
In other word, the axbridge check for its installation location in the registry to know where to start.
Even if all your components have been updated in the registry as suggested here : http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=40&threadID=559704
JRE Bug or feature?
Anyway the registry is evil.

Where does Jre Installs

Hello everybody !
Where or should I put it correctly how does the
Jre installs it self in windows enviroment ?
I guessed sun uses the folder Java as default and then make
some changes in the Windows Registry.
Is this folder always going to be java as default ? and
Will sun continue to use the same folders in the registry ?
Where can I get to know much about this ?
Thanks
bashiro

I'd suggest specifying why you want to know how to locate Sun's JRE on a Windows computer. Usually people want to know about the specific virtual machine their Java code is currently running on (or about to run on), and the techniques for detecting this have no relation to the ones you're asking for.

I installed on my computer the other SSD hard drive, and now'd like to install Photoshop and Lightroom that station and I do not the C drive. How do I get exchanged the installation location when using your Creative Cloud in your program.

Photoshop is installed on your C partition and how to get it installed on another partition now!

Heinonen Petri you can customize the installation location within the preferences for the Creative Cloud desktop application. Please be aware that the Creative Cloud desktop application and many shared components will always need to be installed to the primary drive containing the operating system.
For additional details on how to customize the installation location please see Creative Cloud Help | Download, install, update, or uninstall apps.

Programatically determine installation location for InDesign CS3, CS4, CS5, AND CS5.5 (Windows)

We build plug-ins for all versions of InDesign from CS3 and later, for Windows and Mac.
To deploy our plug-in(s) on Windows, we use InstallShield, which has a somewhat complicated mechanism to locate InDesign.exe and determine its version so we know which plug-in(s) to install, but basically, the location is determined (via the RegLocator table in InstallShield) based on this registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\InDesign.exe
This has been working fine for all versions of InDesign since CS2. However, that location is apparently no longer set by the InDesign CS5.5 installer. So, we need to find some other way of programatically locating InDesign CS5.5 with our installer.
I've searched the registry of a machine with InDesign CS5.5 installed, and there are other registry entries related to InDesign, but those entries are not set by earlier versions of the InDesign installer. Ideally, there would be a registry setting, or some other reliable marker we can use to locate the InDesign installation, which is consistent across all versions of InDesign (at least back to CS3).
Using the registry setting is something we came up with on our own via trial-and-error, since, as far as I know, there is no documented way to locate the InDesign installation folder. (Our Mac installer uses a simpler mechanism to locate InDesign by the application name and version number.)
I find the apparent lack of documentation on this a bit ironic, since just about every other aspect of the SDK and the methods for creating InDesign plug-ins is extremely well documented, expect for the last final bit one needs to know to get to the promised land of actually deploying a carefully crafted plug-in to customers' machines. (This seems to be true of the Acrobat SDK as well.) However, I could have just missed the relevant documentation, in which case, please point me to it.
So, is there a recommended way to programatically locate the InDesign installation location on Windows? How are other people doing this in their installers?

Hi Dan,
this is the InDesign plugins SDK forum, you need the installer forum....
Just kidding. I use a really hacky piece of VB to install my plugins while I'm developing...
here's the bit which works out the folder depending on which version I'm compiling for.
That gives you the gist anyway, and I imagine that most installers are going to do more or less the same thing, except they'll have short cuts ways of getting it.
There's probably a better way, but this works for me...

Sun Java System Application Server installation location on windows

Hi there...
I'm just doing the "Your First Cup: An Introduction to the Java EE Platform" tutorial for the first time. I'm trying to add the Sun Java System Application Server in NetBeans IDE. It's asking me to select the Platform Location, and I have no idea where that is. No help instructions I've found say where it normally gets installed, and I've found now mention of it on the web.
Can anyone tell me the location where this is supposed to be located? I HAVE installed the Java EE SDK 5 for Windows. The location it offers as a default is "C:\Program Files\glassfish-v2ur2\", but there is a red message at the bottom of the dialog that reads "Provide a valid Application Server Installation Location for 'Sun Java System App...". The Register Local Default Domain drop-down box has not options to select, either.
I would try and search some more, but I just don't know what to search for. If anyone can offer any insight into this, I appreciate it.
Thanks a ton!!!

I`ve posted a shorter version of the question in the hopes of getting a timely answer. Thanks

JNLP does not trigger JRE installation

Hi
I want to launch my application with a minimum version of jre(i.e. 1.6.0_10). If on the system there is no jre installed
or jre installed on the system is older than 1.6.0_10, i want jnlp to trigger the installation of jre 1.6.0_25.
I tried following jnlp tags in my jnlp file:
<java version="1.6.0_10+" href="http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u25-b06/jre-6u25-windows-i586.exe"/>
<j2se version="1.6.0_10+" href="http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u25-b06/jre-6u25-windows-i586.exe"/>
None of the above tags trigger the installation of jre if on the system there is no jre installed
or installed jre is older than 1.6.0_10.
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.

1) Why would you expect the JNLP to enforce _25+, when the JNLP specifies..

_10+?My application is certified with jre version 1.6.0_25, but it can run on any jre version greater than 1.6.0_10. If user has any jre greater than 1.6.0_10 version application will use that jre. But if user does not have minimal jre version (i.e. 1.6.0_10) then i want to trigger jre installation and install the certified jre version for application(i.e. 1.6.0_25).
2) Have you validated the JNLP file using JaNeLA?
3) How is the link to the JNLP embedded in the web page?To me JNLP looks fine as it works fine if the system has atleast minimal jre version (i.e. 1.6.0_10), but fails to download jre 1.6.0_25 if it does not have 1.6.0_10 or any greater jre installed.
The link "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u25-b06/jre-6u25-windows-i586.exe" is the download link for jre 1.6.0_25.

Why are all jar files not compressed in the JRE installer?

I used 7zip to unpack jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe (Oracle JRE Installer). On unpacking, I got a core.zip, a zipper.exe and a few other files.
Again on exploding core.zip I found a few things. core.zip contains all the jar files just like it would be after installation except for 7 jar files.
charsets.jar
deploy.jar
javaws.jar
jsse.jar
localedata.jar
plugin.jar
rt.jar
Instead of these jar files there exists the corresponding packfiles
charsets.pack
deploy.pack
javaws.pack
jsse.pack
localedata.pack
plugin.pack
rt.pack
I think these are files created by pack200.exe & unpack200.exe is run on them after installation to create the corresponding jar files.
So now I have a few questions
Why are only these 7 files run through pack200.exe. I assume its because they are bigger than other files. But it wouldn't take that much effort to pack all jar files & unpack them after installation.
The .pack extension suggests that these are packed but not gzipped. Again why would Oracle not do a gzip also? for eg with rt.jar packing reduces size from 45 MB to 12 MB, while adding gzip also reduces it to 6 MB.

Whatever the truth of all this may be, you won't find it here. This is a user to user forum, not Oracle support or a channel to the developers. All you will get here at best is valid post hoc reasoning: at worst, guesswork. And if you're trying to bring this issue to Oracle's attention, again this isn't the place to do it. Locking the thread.

Basic questions about JRE installation

I am using NSIS to make a installer, which insalls the JRE 1.5, JMF, Javamp3, then our own software packages.....
Firstly I have some basic question about the general installatio/deinstallation.
1 Why sometimes is it required to reboot computer for the installed software to take effect, e.g.
JRE 1.5. If not, what doest NOT take effect? (Actually in many cases, it seems to work even if not reboot the computer).
Regarding the JRE 1.5,
I am wondering:
1 where is the registry entry written in windows?
2 how to make the JRE installation process silent?
Thanks !

Just click on this link http://mindprod.com/jgloss/registry.html.

Problems with JRE installation 1.6.0_18 in silent mode

Hi!
I have problems with installing the JRE from the cmd line in silent mode and in a directory with spaces in the path.
If I remove the spaces in the INSTALLDIR, the JRE installs in the directory I have specified but not when I use spaces in the path.
The command I run is following:
jre-6u18-windows-i586.exe /s /v"/qn INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\company\product test\java\""
all I get is the help window to the windows installer with the different options. What am I missing?

Question:-Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of da Adobe AIR Application?

Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of the Adobe AIR Application or can we skip that part automatically?

xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" is the spark mx address, which is completely different than the original 2006 mx library.
The thing is: I love AIR, hate spark, loved the 2006 pre-spark functionality. It is so much more convenient and user friendly. Given the choice between having the display seperate from the processing, or having it be convenient and easy to work with, I choose the later option.
For the most part it seems like the AIR api is like a layer on top of the spark - flex system.. I would like to be able to over lay the same AIR functionality on top of the the old system....
Possible or no?

What's the significance of the letter -p in the JRE installables

Hi,
Can anybody please let me know what is the significance of the letter "-p" in the JRE installables as i could see that till JRE 1.6.0_13 the name for the Window offline installable has -p {for eg: jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe} where as for the higher version i.e 1.6.0_14 onwards there is no letter "-p" {for eg: jre-6u14-windows-i586.exe} .
Appreciate your quick response in this regards.

CS5.1 overrides CS5 registry entries, how do I get the photoshop installation location safely?

Hi there,
I'm creating a installer for my Photoshop plugins, so I need to find out Photoshop installation directory. I did this by looking for registry 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\', but I found that CS5.1 will override the CS5 registry entries - they are both in ’HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\12.0‘
So how can I distinguish CS5 and CS5.1 in the registry? Or how can I get the correct installation direcotry for both CS5.1 and CS5?
Thanks,
Daniel

You can't on Windows. On Mac they did the right thing and made a seperate .paths files. On Windows they just tromped on the CS5 registry entries with the CS5.1 entries, even though it's a completely seperate application installation with its own plugin path. Not too cool.
Although, it only matters if you encounter the probably rare corner case where a user has both CS5 and CS5.1 installed AND wants to put the plugins into the CS5 plugin path. We just punted and can only install into CS5.1 in that case, unless the user manually selects the installation location. It hasn't generated any significant support issues for us that I know of.

Multiple JRE Installations and Coexistence

Hi Guys
Could any of you please help at all.
I am looking to find out is anyone has experienced or knows of any coexistence issues relating to Sun JRE installations.
We have the following JRE versions deployed on our estate:
1.4.2_04, 1.4.2_05 and 1.30_02
These are existing application dependencies.
We are looking to also deploy version 1.5.0_05 for a new application so this could potentially be installed on a machine with any of the above versions already installed.
If anyone has experienced any coexistence issues with any of the above, I would be very grateful of your help.
Many thanks all

6u10 offers a solution to this problem. The rewritten plugin in 6u10 allows the plugin to call the JRE version specified by the applet. The html source calling the applet must specify the version, which you may need to add if it is not already there.
