Re: [Condor-users] Java not recognised by Condor

["Bryan S. Maher" <Bryan.Maher@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Liam,

I ran into the problem and the only way I could solve it reliably was to
create a link to the Java directory on each machine.  Using linkd from
the resource kit, I created a directory in the root, C:\Java, and linked
it to the true location of the JRE on each machine.  This simplifies the
condor administration because you always know that Java is in the same
location regardless of which version is installed on the machine.  I did
the same for the Matlab Component Runtime (MCR) which also suffers from
spaces in the path.

Good luck,

Bryan

I've tried it without quotes, but it's still interpreting the space in 
'Program Files' as a separator.

It's not easy for me to do that; I've created a custom installer, and 
though I know that this particular version of Java is present in the 
given location, I don't know what its 8.3 name is (there may be other 
versions of Java present).
