Installer & Java9 (endorsed)

[dizzzz]

The installer fails with the following when setting the admin password:

The system cannot find the file C:\Localdata\Program.
"-Xms64m -Xmx768m -Djava.endorsed.dirs="C:\Localdata\eXist-db"\lib\endorsed"
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Localdata\eXist-db\lib\endorsed is not supported. Endorsed standards and standalone APIs
in modular form will be supported via the concept of upgradeable modules.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

further investigation is needed; Java9 is installed

Context information

Please always add the following information

• eXist-db version : 3.6.1 (jar installer)
• Java version (e.g. Java8u151)
• Operating system (Windows 7)
• 64 bit
• Any custom changes in e.g. conf.xml : none

The -Djava.endorsed.dirs has to be removed. I thought it had been done for all the scripts.

However grep -r "java.endorsed.dirs" $EXIST_HOME reveals that some of these are still present, predominantly for the Installer and Windows.

See - b73c755d

Thnx, I did not have the time yet to check the details. (I wrote the item so we don;t forget it)

Yup all good. It was just fresh in my memory ;-)

Bonus item: build.bat might have the same construction...

there are (potentially) more:
