How to let any users run .exe program that reads java methods from its c++ code?

Question

Here the zip file of source code: http://cfile218.uf.daum.net/attach/254F2D4F5211EF93107910

,or visible source code in the bottom.

I just compiled and ran it on my PC: worked fine in both debug and release mode.

However, if I try to run it on another PC (Windows XP is installed in), it shows an error saying that I do not have "jvm.dll" so it cannot run it.

Therefore I installed java from the address " http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp " and runned it. However, it still said same error.

It is my problem....

How would I make it be run on other normal PCs that has no JDK or MSVC? because normal users definitely do not own JDK..

Answer 1

#pragma comment(lib, "jvm.lib")

Because of this, your program is statically linked against jvm.lib . That means that the jvm.dll must be somewhere on the DLL search path (current directory, C:\\Windows\\System32, %PATH%, ...) when your application is started. Probably the jvm.dll is somewhere on your %PATH% and so the application works. But as you also noticed, it's usually not like that. So you have to use a different approach: Loading the library manually.

I have written a detailed explanation on that in another answer . That should be exactly what you need, you just have to replace all the throw gcnew System::ComponentModel::Win32Exception with your own error handling, since you're not using C++/CLI.

Edit: Instead of RegGetValue , you could use RegQueryValueEx :

RegQueryValueEx(jKey, TEXT("CurrentVersion"), NULL, NULL, versionString, &bufsize);

But if you take a look at the documentation of that function, you'll see that you should add a null terminator:

if (bufsize <= (16 * sizeof TCHAR)) // or whatever the buffer size is
    versionString[bufsize] = TEXT('\0');
else // error: buffer overflow

They won't need JDK, installing JRE on clients is enough. But they definitely need a means to access jvm.dll (by adding its path to PATH environment varialble explained here ).
