I'm using an exe file to install an application, but am running into a weird issue. When installing, I get a "Picked up _java_options" followed by a gibberish value with seemingly random characters. This leads to an error where the JVM for the application cannot be created.
The _java_options environment variable is not not set. In addition, I searched the files of the application and could not find any reference to _java_options.
I saw this question: "Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS" when no such environment variable exists but it doesn't help with my situation since I'm not using a Razer. Does anybody know what could possibly cause _java_options to be added during the installation process?
The issue was that the application HP QuickTest was overriding my java configuration. Deleting that application resolved the issue.
