Using the trial version of SDC on Unix and Admin Console on Windows 7 64 bit.

The package is promoted and SDC builds the package(s). When a Windows 7 64 bit user then downloads the package it doesn’t give the option to install 32 or 64 bit it always installs 32 bit.

Is there some configuration missing?

Also once that works, it would be nice to specify different vmargs for each type of platform not only OS. For example different vmargs for 32 bit windows than for 64 bit windows.

Thank-you in advance!

Hey ic.gc.ca,

1. It’s necessary to have both 32 and 64 bit JVMs installed on a machine in order to have the option to choose an architecture on the installer.

2. Regarding specifying different vmargs for each architecture, we have already request for other users and we are planning to work on that in the near future. We will let you know when this is done.

Thanks,

I’ve tested this out by installing a 32bit and 64bit jre on with Windows 7 64bit OS and the SDC built installers now present the choice.

In our environment we don’t install JREs with the windows installer. Is there a specific environment variable or registry entry that the SDC built installers query to determine what JREs are installed? We would like to set that variable/entry so we can continue installing JREs in the manual ‘unzip’ way.

Thank-you for help!

Hello,

We are looking at following entries to find out what java versions are installed:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\IBM\Java2 Runtime Environment
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\IBM\Java Development Kit

Note: If you installed a 32-bit JRE in a 64-bit operating system, then the registry keys are located in Java Plug-in registry key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft.

We appreciate your comments, feel free to post if you have additional.

Regards Hugo Herrera.
