I previously used izPack for cross platform install of a Tomcat application. You can develop custom plugins for izPack as well as custom scripts, so creating something which looks for AOO in a number of predefined locations, and also validates the correct version dependency, would probably be within reach as well. I think you can tell izPack to do actions with elevated privileges. I also tested generating a Windows-executable wrapper using Launch4J (http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/ <http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/>), and it worked well. The resulting exe file is self contained, will auto-resolve any installed JRE on the system, or display a popup with Java download link if it cannot find Java on the system. Launch4J can also generate executable wrappers for macOS but I did not try that. Both izPack and launch4j can be built from e.g. an Ant build script. -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com
