Runtime Error when selecting Custom location for JDK path

[iki]

On Win8 x64 with jre-8u40-windows-x64.exe installed in C:\Java, the installer does not find JDK path.

Later, it asks for JDK path with radio selector, and offers a single Custom location choice. After selecting, it reports Runtime Error (at 28:617): Out Of Range.

[iki]

Installing 32bit jre-8u40-windows-i586.exe into C:\Java32 did not change anything.

I'm ready to help with testing further...

Hi,
I haven't tested with Windows 8, but I'm surprised that it doesn't work.
There should be a setup log file at: "%TEMP%\Setup Log yyyy-mm-dd #nnn.txt"

The log reads:

Basically, there are 2 issues:

1. neither installed jre8 64bit, nor 32bit is detected
2. when there's no jre detected, installer fails on selecting to specify the path manually (that one could manifest on any platform, try to uninstall your jre)

[djpowell]

Ah, I think the problem is that you are using a JRE. The installer is expecting a full JDK to be installed as a pre-requisite. I'm not sure how well Leiningen works with just a JRE - I'd imagine it at least wouldn't be able to compile Java source code in projects.

The error message if you try to manually point to a JRE should be better though.

Does that sound ok? Could you try it again with a full JDK installed?

I just had this problem running leiningen win-installer on Windows 10 with the full jdk-9.0.4 installed in the standard location (C:\Program Files\Java, I don't have any other versions of the Java SDK installed on my machine) . Went to bitbucket as per response to another issue with leiningen win installer but could not find where to see or report issues ?

I am trying to get a clojure dev environment running on my machine.
I am new to all this including Java.
But it seems that this is a known problem from previously reported issues, I just can't figure out if it was suppossed to be fixed or not.

My only choice right now is to roll back to the latest version of JDK 8 and see if it resovles the issue.

I would appreciate some clarity though.

I am attching a picture of my Java JDK folders and the installer log file as per instructions above:

Setup Log 2018-03-28 #005.txt

I installed jdk 8 161 and the leiningen win installer ran to completion.
One onion layer down and ? to go.

I tried some different JDK's, and here's what I found.
-> jdk-8u161-windows-x64 is something that the lein installer is able to find
-> jdk-9.0.4_windows-x64_bin is not something that the lein installer can find
-> jdk-10_windows-x64_bin is not something that the lein installer can find

Based on this, either the version of the jdk or the _bin jdk type should be what is preventing lein from finding a JDK to use for installing

[djpowell]

Hi thanks, I've not really touched the installer for a while (I wrote it when Powershell wasn't so common on windows, to try and reduce the install steps). I wouldn't have tested it since jdk 8, so it is likely that it needs some modifications to find jdk9 and 10 in the registry. I'll try and take a look in the next week or so, but if you have any ideas or patches, that'ld be cool too.

Thanks, by installing jdk-8u161-windows-x64 in addition to jdk-9.0.4_windows-x64_bin that was already installed on my machine, the installer ran to completion. Still had a problem with a security setting to get the install to work properly. Now I am clojuring away.

Thanks, while looking around I saw a response (I think it was on StackOverflow) that drilled down and explained what the root of the problem is, but I can't find it now. If I do I'll post the link. On Thu, Apr 5, 2018 at 1:54 PM, David Powell <[email protected]> wrote:

Do you mean this thread?

I am having the same issue, but right now I cannot post the content of the log file

[simmranvermaa]

I am trying to install lein and it keeps running into Runtime Error (at 28:617): Out Of Range while setting the custom location. Using: jdk-13.0.2_windows-x64_bin.exe. Is this issue resolved?
