Controlling the Installation of Bundled JVMs

InstallAnywhere 2020 SP1

If you bundled one or more JVMs in your project, you can control when the JVM is deployed and where the installer deploys it.

By default, an installer installs any bundled VM and uninstalls that VM if the end user uninstalls your product. But the VM that you bundle with your installer does not need to be installed in order for it to be used to run the installer. (The installer can extract the JVM to a temporary location during the installation and then delete it when the installation is complete.)

The default location to which InstallAnywhere-generated installers store a bundled VM (when installed) is in a jre subdirectory of the product's install location. The location is defined in the VM Install Folder settings on the Installer Settings tab in the JVM Settings view of the Project page. The default location is:

User Install Folder/jre

If necessary, you can change the magic folder in which the jre subdirectory is created or change the name of the subdirectory in which the bundled VM is installed.
