Java 9 support

Tue Jun 27, 2017 9:11 pm

I'm testing an install with the latest Java 9 early access builds ( jdk-9+175 as of this post ). The install is failing to detect the presence of the Java 9 JRE and is showing the Prerequisites screen where I've specified a JRE of 1.6 or later.

Can anyone give me an idea when Java 9 support will be added? I realize that these are early access builds... I'm just trying to get a head start on updating around 15 installs before the upcoming Java 9 release.

Hi Daniel
you are writing "officially available".
What is it meaning? JAVA9 RC? GA? Advanced installer which is supporting java9?
Can I try beta testing of advanced installer for java 9 before java 9 GA as earlier as possible?
My product is using a java service wrapper of AI. But it is not working on JAVA 9.
I need to confirm a functions of java9 of the AI service wrapper as soon as possible.
When or how can I contact AI team to solve this concern?
Thanks in advance
Regards,

Daniel

It didn't work for me today.
How do I make Advanced Installer to detect JRE versions 9+ ?
I have JRE 10 installed, but installer complains that JRE 8+ not found.
Please find screenshot attached.

Hello and welcome to our forums,

Please note that the above error message is not thrown by the settings from "Java Products" page, but by the Java predefined launch condition you configured from "Launch Conditions" page -> "Software" tab. Here when you configure the JRE 8 launch condition, this launch condition will search for the 32-bit or for the 64-bit version of the JRE on target machine depending on the package type (32 or 64-bit, check this from "Install Parameters" page) of your setup.

Thus if your setup project is of 32-bit package type, then the Java launch condition will search for a 32-bit version of Java and if not found it will thrown the error message blocking the installation. This is our current implementation.

If your setup package is of 32-bit type but your deployed java app can run with 64-bit versions of JRE, then I suggest you to remove from your project the predefined JRE launch condition from "Launch Conditions" page.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

All the best,
Daniel
