I have been running into issues trying to install the online edition of Spark to use the already installed versions of Java. We have found that for some reason (even copying version 7 jre to the spark folder) web apps that use java get clobberd, or Spark gets clobberd as a result of two version of jre running. I have tried to get the online version running with 7.45 java RE but with windows 7 I run into the evirnemnt variable issue because the install4j objects look for versions 5-6 of java.
I have changed the register entries as some have propsed to curcumvent the envitonment varible error, but we have found if the user is NOT a admin on the local machine (Windows 7 at least) then after the program is installed the error returns and does not allow the application to start.
VERY FUSTRATING..
I would like to know if there is a way to "roll my own" version of Spark and get arround these issues, or have someone spoonfeed me on how to get the online version running in my win 7 envrionments as well provide compatibility with version 7+ of JRE
Thanks!
