I'm creating an installer for a Java application for Windows. The customers wants to bundle the JRE with the installation (I know that's kind of frowned upon, but it's not up to me). If I bundle the JRE7 32bit windows version, will it work on all Windows version (XP- 8, both 32 and 64bit)?
According to Oracle Documentation, JRE 7 32 bit is supported on
Microsoft Windows 32-Bit
Microsoft Windows x64, 32-Bit Mode
Microsoft Windows x64, 64-Bit Mode
Windows 8 does not appear on Oracle official site on the certified OS list. My guess is that Windows 8 is backward-compatible and JRE7 32 bit could run there too.
