Running an application in a java environment #11

Closed mquisuisje closed 3 years ago

mquisuisje commented 3 years ago

Hello, Thank you for the effort you make to run Windows applications on Mac. I tried to install using your Wineskin Winery application with WS11WineCX64Bit19.0.1-1 as engine, a scientific program on Big Sur. The installation was done correctly but in order to function it needs Java JRE 1.6 which is included with the program in a sub-folder "jre1.6.0_05". The problem is that it cannot run javaw.exe which is in this subfolder. I have a message telling me that it cannot locate the virtual java machine. Any idea to solve this problem? Thank you

This isn’t something I’ve encountered before but as it’s unable to find the Java executable there’s two solutions I can think of.

Here’s an example from the mingw package

If you want your MinGW-generated windows binaries to work under wine out-of-the-box
        (and they are not statically linked), you can instruct wine
        to automatically search for dll-s by running:
            wine regedit
        Nagivate to:
            \[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment\]
        or
            \[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Environment\]
        and add
            Z:[string map {/ \\} ${prefix}]\\${mingw_target}\\bin
        to the 'PATH' variable.

I’d assume doing something similar but using a Windows PATH like what’s already provided at that registry location would work

Avoid using Z: as that’s your mounted macOS file system aka “/“ meaning your wrapper won’t be movable anymore due to this hardcoded macOS PATH
