Hi,

  I just stumbled over another NSIS (Nullsoft
Scriptable Install System) script archive entry titled
"Java Launcher".

  Baz writes:

  Here is a NSIS script which can be used to launch
Java programs the easy way.

  It will search for the JRE the following way:

1 - in jre directory (if you have JRE Installed with
your application)
2 - in JAVA_HOME environment variable
3 - in the registry
4 - assume java.exe in current dir or PATH

In this example NSIS is not used as an installer but
as a windows program.

There's no programming language out there in which it
can be done this simple!

Have fun! (can you believe people want you to pay for
this!)
