Version 8.1

On client computers, is it possible to use a different Java package or to change the installation directory for the version packaged with the client launcher (Vision and Perspective Workstation)?

Thanks,  
Mack

I don’t know if there is UI for it, but if you export the launcher config you’ll find a `custom.jre.path` property that can be set to the path to another locally installed Java version.
