Note:InstallAnywhere installers no longer distrubute Java 8. InstallAnywhere 2024 supports only Java 11 and later versions. The JAR files in Java 8, usually present in the jre/lib/ and jre/lib/ext/ directories, are also not distributed with Java 11 and later versions, therefore these files will be unavailable.
