JAVKE - Java Application Verification Kit for Enterprise - Install problem

[Zsolt Kovács]

Hello,

When I try to install JAVKE, it throws the following error: "A suitable JVM could not be found. Please run the program again using the option -is:javahome <JAVA HOME DIR>".
Java is installed to c:\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\ and c:\Java\jre6. Setting the javahome option to these folders (either JDK or JRE) doesn't help.

After some googling I found that with the -is:log switch you could create a log file. This shows:

After this it tries to find the Java install with hints like "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.5.0_01" or "C:\Java\j2re1.5.0_01"

I'm using Vista 32 bit OS, JDK 1.6u18, JAVA_HOME is set to "JAVA_HOME=c:\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\;", tried both root and bin directories of both JDK and JRE, PATH includes the JDK bin c:\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin.
Any suggestions?

Thank you for your help
Zsolt

You have to specify a lower version of jdk on the javahome option in order to start the installer. Once started it will ask to point to higher version and it works from there.
