main native language

Hi

I´m trying out the test version of Advanced Installer, so far it seems to bet he right kind of program for our company to buy.

But so far we have problems using it. We tried to make an installer for a Java-Application. We tried several configurations, but always get the same message when we want to run the program, that the main class wasn’t found.

This problem has also bin posted in the forum, by other users but there was no helping answer so far.

Could you give a detailed Solution for this Problem, by answering this email or by posting in the forum?

Our Configurations:

App.jar:

With dir compiled/Mainclass
Also dir META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Containing:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.4.2_04 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: compiled/Mainclass

In AV under Java Products:

Classpath: TARGETDIR\Dir\app.jar
Main class: compiled.Mainclass


if you need more information just post or mail!



Some other Questions:


1. How does AV support the native java code compling.
There is no explanation how to use it.


2. Does AV support a German-version ?
If not, will were be a release and when will it be released?


Thanks for any help

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.

About Java application start issue: check the package of the class. It must respect the directory structure. Thus, in your case, Mainclass should be in the "compiled" package.

Check out the Help for a full step-by-step tutorial for creating an install package for a Java product.

The questions:

1) AdvInst is an installer, not a Java-to-native code compiler. Instead it supports downloading, finding and installing the JRE.

2) Localized MSI packages are not supported yet. This feature is planned for the future, but I cannot give you an estimated time of arrival yet.

Best regards,
