[izpack-users] Copy a file in JRE install directory

[Bartz, Klaus]

Hi Christophe,
as Mika adumbrate nearly all is possible with IzPack.
On Windows often environment variables are not set or
not up to date. If your customer also do not tend there
environmet there are some other ways to Rom.
You know which JRE will be used for the installation. In
JDKPathPanel you can see how to resolve and verify the JDK/JRE.
An other way will be to look into the registry. The key for the
JRE path is
HKLM\Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtiome Environment\[version]\JavaHome

For registry access you need some more steps to include the
support. See the installation definition file of IzPack for
registry access (there are two definition files in 
%IZ_HOME%\src\\dist-files).
CheckedHelloPanel can be used as example how to access registry.

Cheers

Klaus
