JRE VM Pack Structure
InstallAnywhere 2020 SP2
VM packs are stored as archives with a .vm extension. VM packs contain a VM archive (vm.zip or vm.tar.Z) and a vm.properties file.
The structure and contents of the JVM archive inside the VM pack vary between Windows-based, OS or OS X–based, and UNIX-based systems.
