Thank you, Denis, for educating me on what is going on.

Making a simple Java launcher became too much work with Advanced Installer.

Instead, I am now using exe4j.

With exe4j, it is very easy to make a Java launcher that uses a non-standard VM.

I think Advanced Installer is great for making ...

In order to run our utility, we need to be able to look in the registry and see where the VM was installed and then pass this information to the Advanced Installer Java launcher.
The AI Java Launcher works only with the JRE provided by Sun. The path to the JRE in the INI file is used to locate the ...

Let me put forth the caveat that I am not an installer expert and decided that I did not want to mess around with custom 'features', sub-installers, etc. I tried a couple times and didn't have much luck with these advanced/complex features, so went for a solution that was very basic but worked in my ...

is there a way to set the JRE path at install time?

We are making a Java utility that will install on a machine that already has a VM installed. It is not the Sun VM, so the normal Sun VM rules do not apply.

In order to run our utility, we need to be able to look in the registry and see where the VM was installed and then pass this information to ...
