Reply To: XMetaL Developer and Java API Toolkit Install problem

[Derek Read]

There are no logs for installation that you can check. The installer looks for the values listed in my previous message and finding one it uses it to build up the path. When none are found then it simply fails and will ask you to install a JDK (which sounds like what is happening in your case).

Are you planning to build a Java application to control XMetaL Author? If not you should be able to ignore this warning and carry on with the installation. See attached.

If you do need to install the JAT I'll see if I can get our installer to fail on a machine that has Java 1.7 on it and then see if there is anything we can do.
