Hi,  
because of some internal company policies my java executable is not called java. Unfortunately Ignition doesn’t start without an executable called java even if I point it to the right executable during the installation process.

Can you check if there is a script or something that has the name of the executable hard coded instead of getting it from the installation parameter?

Kind regards,  
Bart.

In the ‘data’ folder of the directory you installed Ignition to there’s a file called ignition.conf… you should be able to change the line that reads:

```auto
wrapper.java.command=java
```

to something else…

```auto
wrapper.java.command=C:\ParanoidAndroid\NotJavaISwear
```

If Ignition still won’t start, grab the wrapper.log file and upload that here or send it to support at inductiveautomation dot com.

Presto, it worked.

Thanks Kevin.
