How to Change the Java VM Used by the Uninstaller or a LaunchAnywhere Executable

Title

Summary

You can control the VM selection for an uninstaller or launcher using the Advanced tab in the action's customizer.

Synopsis

By default, the uninstaller, as well as any LaunchAnywhere executable in your project, will use the VM selected by the installer or by the end user if a Choose Java VM panel has been included in the Pre-Install sequence. This behavior can be configured so that a different Java VM is used.

Discussion

Configure LaunchAnywhere with:
