[izpack-users] MAC OS and Vista

[Patricia Loy]

I've written an installer for our Java product and recently discovered that
the installer doesn't work on Windows Vista or the MAC (we haven't tried it
on Linux).

 

I'm new to installers in general so I don't understand some of the verbiage
used in the posts.  Such as 

            "Please note that under Windows VISTAT, a user rights escalation
may be required to install to Program Files. setup.exe should be recognized
as an installer by the operating system, resulting in the escalation being
offered to the user. "

 

The same error message pops up when our product is installed using the
Izpack installer on Windows Vista and on the MAC OS:

 

java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
1.5.O/Home/lib/ext/jsrl73_1.O_api.jar (Permission denied)

 

The file path maybe different but still the same permission denied error.

 

Does the reference to setup.exe mean that I should name the installer as
setup.exe instead of a .jar file?
