Description ehucka 2006-04-25 13:56:56 UTC 
If I use 64bit jvm on amd64 windows platform the installer always ends after
setting of target location (Directory Name). It throws an error the destination
directory is not writtable.
Comment 1 mslama 2006-04-25 14:03:55 UTC 
InstallShield does not support 64bit JDK on Windows. Installer launcher does not
accept 64bit JDK so it would be interesting to know how you start installer.
Comment 2 ehucka 2006-04-25 14:12:57 UTC 
Installer asked me for a JVM (java.exe) becauseof the machine was reinstalled
and jdks were not registered in windows.
Comment 3 mslama 2006-04-25 14:22:56 UTC 
I will add check to startup and display error in Welcome panel. It is obscure
case when it is possible to start installer even if launcher says it cannot find
suitable JDK on system.
