KSE with SAPMachine OpenJDK

[blueicehaller]

Hi,

can you please implement that the SapMachine installer sets the following registry values?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\JavaSoft]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment]
"CurrentVersion"="11.0"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\11.0]
"JavaHome"="C:\\Program Files\\SapMachine\\JDK\\11"
"MicroVersion"="0"

Further Information: kaikramer/keystore-explorer#292

Thank you in advance.

Hi, are you aware of the registry entries we already have?
https://github.com/SAP/SapMachine-infrastructure/blob/master/wix-templates/SapMachine.jdk.wxs.template#L51
Reusing the proposed JavaSoft entries is a bit controversial because we might clash with other peoples software, this is not really what we would like to see.

Hi @MBaesken ,
I assume that either Oracle Java or SAPMachine is installed.
Oracle Java is meanwhile not free for Corporate usage.

Before setting the registry entries I proposed the SAPMachine installer need to check if the value is not set or ask what to do.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\JavaSoft is not under responsibility of SAP/SAPMachine.
Therefore you don't modify it.

The next release of KSE will come with a new launcher that also checks for the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
