Issue:
I am getting the Maven error "The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly" when I run through Inno setup batch execution. However, I am able to run successfully outside Inno Setup.(e.g Command line, Batch file, Vbs). I am clueless to identify the issue.
Inno Setup Invoked Prompt:
C:\>mvn -version
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program
NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE
Regular Command Prompt:
C:\>mvn -version

Setting JAVA_HOME
Check the If Java 1.8 is installed or not. If not installed, Install the same and set the JAVA HOME as follows.
SETX JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131"
SETX -m JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131"
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v Path /t REG_SZ /d "%path%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin;" /f
Many Thanks.
The SETX command does not modify the current environment.
If you run the following batch file:
setx AAA aaa
echo AAA=%AAA%
It will print
AAA=
So your batch file is wrong. You have to use set:
set AAA=aaa
See What is the difference between SETX and SET in environment variables in Windows.
