Launch java from CD if not installed on Windows

843785Jan 5 2009 — edited Jan 5 2009

Hi all,

I've created a java program which I'm currently distributing as a JAR on a CD. The user just clicks on the JAR to launch.

I'd like this to work even if the user does not have Java installed on their Windows computer (I can assume it's installed for Macs). I've read some stuff that says it's possibly to run Java from a version installed directly on the CD, but I can't work out how this is done. I'd also like it to default to the user's installed version, if they do have it, because I assume that this would be faster.

Is this doable?

Thanks so much,
Tim
