Now that is (apparently) > changing. That isn't changing ... if you put the launcher in the root of the ACS directory, along with a JRE, it should be completely self contained. You can put it on a mapped drive, dropbox folder, etc. If the native launcher isn't in the same directory as the JRE directory, it will look for a JRE on the path. By putting a JRE in the acs directory, it will use that jre. Personally, I don't like depending on searching the path to find a version of java ... there are just to many versions. If the software you are trying to run isn't compatible, you'll run into problems. Because of that, I had to jump through a bunch of hoops to get approval to use OpenJ9 with some of my software (because we could no longer include Oracle Java). I don't want customers to have to find a compatible version of Java and install it. Since I'm using OpenJ9, I can ship it with the product. david -- David Gibbs midrange.com IBM i on Power Systems: For when you can't afford to be out of business!
