MAC_install4j6: Unable to detect Java

MAC OS X - Yosemite and El Capitan

I have made an installer using install4j 6.1.2(32 bit) and installed on MAC machine but it doesn't detect Java.

Java 6 and 1.8 is already present but still getting message,

I have tried with different combination

Java min = 1.6 & min = 1.7 same message "Need at least 1.7..." &
for min = 1.8 & max = 1.8 : "You need at least java 1.8 ..." enter image description here

So is it searching for 32 bit java? or there is some other issue? How do I resolve this?

Solution

  • You can debug the JRE search sequence by launching the installer from the command line like this:

    INSTALL4J_LOG=yes installer.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub

    For Java 7+, you have to make sure to select "Installed Oracle JRE" on the "JRE" step of the media wizard.

    Also, on the "General Settings->Java Version" step, the "JRE search sequence" has to contain the "Search Window registry and standard locations" entry.
