Did you try installing a JRE @adamf2 ? Did you install it with the same OS user as you are using to launch the install4j installer?

asvitkine commented 2 years ago

I'm a bit confused. Doesn't our install4j installer include a jre?

DanVanAtta commented 2 years ago

@asvitkine dug this up from page 204 of the install4j handbook :nerd_face:

C.4 How Installers Find A JRE Installers generated by install4j are native executables or shell scripts and can start running without a JRE. However, the installer itself requires a JRE in order to perform its work and so the first action of the installer is to locate a JRE that is suitable for both the installer and your application. In this process it performs the following steps:

  1. Look for a statically bundled JRE. If a statically bundled JRE is included with the installer, it will unpack it and use it. First, this JRE is unpacked to a temporary directory, later it is copied to a location that depends on whether the bundled JRE is configured as shared or not. • Not shared It is copied to the jre directory in the installation directory of your application. No other installer generated by install4j will find this JRE. It will not be made publicly available, for example in the Windows registry

In sum - the installer should be launching the bundled JRE in order to support the installation process. We have the bundled JRE as 'not shared'.

@adamf2 which exact installer are you using, what is the file name on it? Do you know if you are using a 32 or 64 bit OS?

I wonder maybe if this is a 32 vs 64 bit OS issue (something like: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32292290)

adamf2 commented 2 years ago

64 bit. I have had to uninstall and reinstall in the past with some success. This time the latest version will not work due to this error, but older versions are functioning

That is good news @adamf2! Just to be sure, you selected 'update' when installing TripleA? (rather than java or perhaps something else)
