How do I install a JRE from an Inno Setup?

Question

I\'m trying to install the most current platform (x64 or x86) appropriate Java Runtime Environment via Inno Setup (along with another application). I\'ve found some script e

Answer 1

I was able to figure out the issue: Evidently I was mistaken in my use of these lines:

Source: "jre-8u11-windows-x64.exe"; DestDir: "{tmp}\JREInstall.exe"; Check: IsWin64 AND InstallJava();
Source: "jre-8u11-windows-i586.exe"; DestDir: "{tmp}\JREInstall.exe"; Check: (NOT IsWin64) AND InstallJava();

and they should have been in place like so:

Source: "jre-8u11-windows-x64.exe"; DestDir: "{tmp}"; DestName: "JREInstall.exe"; Check: IsWin64 AND InstallJava();
Source: "jre-8u11-windows-i586.exe"; DestDir: "{tmp}"; DestName: "JREInstall.exe"; Check: (NOT IsWin64) AND InstallJava();

That seems to have solved the problem.

Also this line I was mistaken in:

Filename: "{tmp}\JREInstall.exe"; Parameters: "/s"; Flags: nowait postinstall runhidden runascurrentuser; Check: InstallJava()

It should have been:

Filename: "{tmp}\JREInstall.exe"; Parameters: "/s"; Flags: nowait runhidden runascurrentuser; Check: InstallJava()

This is the best solution my limited experience with this particular tool is able to come up with. I will look into the PrepareToInstall option when I have a chance but this works for now.
