Description
This is a particular case of Java in Windows where the JDK is not installed via the installer, but rather, the JDK is unpacked [as in this StackOverflow answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/13355764/15649). The result is a folder with the JDK, but the registry keys for Java are never written.
I've tried to run boot.exe in this environment, but I guess that Launch4j looks for the Java keys in the registry. The result is that the binary outputs, "This application requires a Java Runtime Environment 1.7.0" and opens a browser window for me to download the Java runtime.
Is there any env variable or switch or .ini file that I can use to control the boot.exe executable and instruct in which directory it should find the JRE?
I'm running on Windows 8.
