I think that the contemporary presence of installed Java AND \Lib\Java libraries is an anomaly that, with this new X-Launcher release, could no more exist (is just a waste of disk space), nor managed by X-Launcher. So I return to my first suggestion: ZioZione wrote ... 1) Java installed on PC: delete \Lib\Java contents; you should just upgrade the installed Java when required. that is more generic and allows you to use also not portable Java-based programs installed on your PC. If you absolutely need two Java versions (but I really cannot understand why), you can try (VERY carefully) my suggestion regarding the registry ZioZione wrote ... The alternative (that I used for testing) is to "play" with the registry (strongly unsuggested); read HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion (i.e. "1.7"); the subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.7\JavaHome contains the Java path (i.e. C:\Program Files\Java\jre7); editing this with whatever you want (i.e. C:\Program Files\Java\jre7_notfound) you can simulate that Java is not installed. Run any X-Program-J to perform the update into \Lib\Java, then restore the Java path into the registry. Please, be careful to use this option!!! Best Regards ZioZione | ||

ZioZione wrote ... 1) Java installed on PC: delete \Lib\Java contents; you should just upgrade the installed Java when required. 2) Java not installed on PC: maintain \Lib\Java contents; you should upgrade it copying the Java setup under \Lib\Java\setup and running any X-Program-J. Both solutions are incomplete and therefore insufficient.
Because of these problems I think, that it makes sense to develop a X-Launcher, which even is able to install Java in the folder Lib\Java in such a case, when Java is already available on the host PC. [ Edited Thu 23 Aug 2012 - 22:39 ] | ||
