SapMachine Windows Installer

SapMachine is a downstream version of the OpenJDK project. It is used to build and maintain a SAP supported version of OpenJDK for SAP customers and partners who wish to use OpenJDK to run their applications.

SAP currently doesn't provide an installer for Windows. Therefore this project.

Since April 10, 2019 Windows installers are created with every SapMachine release and are provided at https://sapmachine.io/. This project will not be developed further and is for documentation purposes only.

This installer is created with NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System). It is a professional open source system to create Windows installers.

This installer performs the following steps:

• Install SapMachine version to selected installation directory
• Optional set JAVA_HOME and update PATH system environment variables
