How to get java path with visual basic script?

Hi,

I would like to get default java path. Is it posible to get it with some visual basic script?

Thanks,

Post the location in the registry and I can provide a script that reads it.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark

markdmac,
that is the problem, because I have searched the reqistry but I can't find the path. There is no path exactly like the java code returns, but are plenty of somekind similar to what java code returns.

Java code is:
System.getProperty("java.home")

Thanks,
Grofaty

I hope you find this post helpful.

Try this.

s=createobject("wscript.shell").environment.item("java_home")
wscript.echo s

tsuji,
it returs empty string. Just msgbox without text was opened.

>it returs empty string
So you don't have java_home set.

tsuji,
that is not true! With java program I can see the result:
C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_02

But your vb script returns empty string.

I meant what I said. The rest you have to figure out yourself. java_home is usually set when you install jdk. So we may be talking about different thing.
