Customizing the VM Search Paths and Patterns
InstallAnywhere 2021
The conventional locations in which InstallAnywhere-generated installers search on Windows-based and UNIX-based systems for VMs are reflected in the default settings on the Windows and UNIX subtabs (Project page > JVM Settings view > Search Panel Settings tab). Likewise, the default Java Executable Patterns settings in these locations reflect the search patterns that InstallAnywhere-generated installers use to identify Java executable files. InstallAnywhere lets you customize both these search paths and the Java executable patterns that your project's installers use.
Note:These settings do not directly apply to your project's LaunchAnywhere launchers. They are potentially indirectly applied to your project's Windows-based and UNIX-based launchers when the launcher's Advanced Settings (defined for the action on the Sequence page) indicate that it will use either the VM Selected by the installer or by the end user via Choose VM Panel option or the First VM found in the system matching the VM Search Settings defined under Project > JVM Settings option. However, if a LaunchAnywhere launcher performs an independent JVM search or uses the VM that is used by the installer, these custom search paths and Java executable patterns are not used.
