This LAX allows Java applications to be launched as if they were platform-native. For example, the LaunchAnywhere executable can be launched by double-clicking or by being called directly from the command line.On Windows, InstallAnywhere appends.exe to the file. On Mac OS X, it creates a.app package.A LaunchAnywhere executable is also responsible for invoking the Java runtime, setting the environment for the Java application, and passing any command-line arguments that may be required by the application.Launcher Path and NameThe Path and Name text boxes describe the destination location and name of the launcher.Launcher Path and Name SettingsControlDescriptionPathIdentifies the location of the LaunchAnywhere executable to be created on the target system.

In addition, on Windows systems, console launchers will redirect stdout and stderr output to the same console window from which they were invoked.Launcher PropertiesLauncher properties are the LAX Properties associated with the launcher.To edit LaunchAnywhere properties 1.On the Create LaunchAnywhere for Java Application customizer, click Edit Properties.

Custom icons are not available on Unix installers. Mac OS X icons may be 128 x 128.Note: On Windows, the LaunchAnywhere executable itself will not display the specified icon directly. Instead, the LaunchAnywhere executable will have the generic.exe icon and an.ico file will appear in the same folder as the executable, but all shortcuts created during installation that target the LaunchAnywhere will inherit the custom icon. InstallAnywhere does not support interlaced GIF files.Windows Execution LevelLaunchAnywhere executables support Windows UAC (User Account Control).Windows Execution Level OptionsOptionDescriptionAs InvokerThe launcher acquires the same execution level as its parent process.Highest AvailableThe launcher requests the highest execution level (Windows privileges and user rights) available to the current user.AdministratorThe launcher requires local admin privileges to run.
