Controlling the JVM That Your Installers Use
InstallAnywhere 2024 R2
InstallAnywhere lets you customize the criteria that your installer’s launcher uses for the JVM search. When the installer’s launcher finds a JVM that fits the criteria in the Valid VM List (and no JVM is bundled with the installer), it uses that JVM to run the installer.
By default, the launchers accept version 11 or later of any JVM. However, you can customize the selection criteria for different versions and different types (JDK or JRE).
Tip:For a detailed discussion of JVM selection criteria settings, see About Java VM Selection Criteria.
To customize the installer's VM search:
| 1. | In the Advanced Designer, on the Project page, click JVM Settings. The JVM Settings view opens. |
| 2. | Click the Installer Settings tab. |
| 3. | In the Valid VM list setting, enter your own JVM search criteria. You can optionally change the version, vendor, and type to meet your installer's JVM requirements. |
Note:There is commonly no need to alter these settings for InstallAnywhere-generated installers themselves, but you may use this criteria to provide a global VM setting that applies to the installer as well as all the LaunchAnywhere launchers that the installer deploys. This does not limit your ability to further customize subsequent VM search criteria or launcher-specific VM settings.
