Description
Here is a NSIS script which can be used to launch Java programs the easy way.
It will search for the JRE the following way:
1 - in jre directory (if you have JRE Installed with your application) 2 - in JAVA_HOME environment variable 3 - in the registry 4 - assume java.exe in current dir or PATH
In this example NSIS is not used as an installer but as a windows program.
There's no programming language out there in which it can be done this simple!
Have fun! (can you believe people want you to pay for this!)
