Hey Folks,

when trying to install JRuby on my Windows machine, I'm getting an error message.

I am using JRE 9.0.4

Do you have an idea what might be the problem?

Can you provide the error log? This is some issue inside the installer we use (Install4J) but this isn't enough information.

Yeah, I attached the logfile. It was produced by the jruby_windows_x64_9_1_16_0.exe file.

Ok, I suspect this is a problem with install4j (perhaps just the version we used) incompatibility with Java 9.

JRuby is also a little iffy on Java 9 still (we're working on it) so you may want to run with Java 8 for now. Try that and let us know if it installs. We'll still get this fixed, but at least you'll be up and running.

Alternatively, just use Java 8 for the install by passing flag to the installer to make it use a Java 8 runtime. Then you can still run JRuby on 9 if you wish.

I just discovered this in the Install4J change logs: https://www.ej-technologies.com/download/install4j/changelog.html

So apparently they just got a version out a couple months ago that works on Java 9.

@enebo We will need to update Install4J to be able to install with Java 9.

I applied for OSS license for current version. We shall see how that goes. The version we have been using which we had an OSS license for was very old (it only applied for a single version of install4j). That license came from codehaus itself so I am not sure how that all worked :|

Fixes #5084.

First attempt at using newest install4j.  This version we got an updated OSS
license for and it works with Java 9+.  After install4j updated our old file
nearly everything works except that media type changed to 'windows' from
'win32'.  This also changed the platform variable name so that had to be
tweaked.  I did a mock release and put ONLY java 9 on a windows machine and it
installs.  Huzzah
