Problem with Nsis launcher code.

Hi everyone,

I'm making a portable version of Geogebra, but I'm unable to do a launcher which checks without errors if Java is installed on the host PC, or on the USB drive.

I looked after many source scripts, but with no success, unfortunaltely =(
So, could anyone make a Function I'll include on my script, with this check ?(The global check 'll be the Java on the host, If found, launch the program, if not, check if Java is installed on the USB Drive. If found, launch too, and If not, abort.)

Thanks in advance guys Eye-wink

I would think that one of Rab040ma's launcher would be a better base; he has a billion java apps on him.

Insert original signature here with Greasemonkey Script.

Thanks !

I've seen the code of the Frostwire launcher, and I achieved to make the launcher. I publish the package soon Eye-wink

Thank you dude !
