Yes.
In my case it's set to C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_25 (64bit version of the latest Java 8 Update 25).
It should be set to the folder containing the 'bin' and 'lib' folders.

test for the username in the env file and set the variable accordingly:
#if $USERNAME = "fred"
UGII_JAVA_HOME =
#endif
not sure if 'else if' is supported in the env file.

Alternatively, use the env file to point to the "standard" location and override that setting on individual computers on an as-needed basis by creating a user-level environment variable.

I'm not sure if this is needed for step.
When NX starts, it searches for installed java versions in c:\apps\Java\jre7x64 and "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7", and defines UGII_JAVA_HOME. You should see in your syslog. If the step is failing, look in your temp folder for a syslog - if it is required, you should see it there.

I got a message last week that Java was out of date, so I updated, by removing the old versions and installing the new one.
Didn't change any settings at all.
What I have in C:\Program Files\Java and C:\Program Files (x86)\Java are folders called:
jre1.8.0_25
If that's what the default is and you have users updating on their own free will, you're going to have to allow for it.

@Cowski ... we do use a common installation folder, the issue is that UGII_JAVA_HOME needs to point to the version folder explicitly.
@Mark ... I don't see that variable defined when launching NX.
@Anthony ... Allowing for it is easier said than done.
I've called it in to GTAC, we can't expect users to have to change an environment variable every time they update Java.

Why not copy a valid & current Java install to a folder called NXJRE in the NX install folders (this is how it was with NX8 and previous).
Then point your UGII_JAVA_HOME to that.
That way someone updates, it doesn't matter, NX will always use the one you have copied to that structure.

NX3 to NX9 with almost every MR (18versions) plus the NX10 Beta

Anthony,
That sounds a reasonable solution, I may look into that.
I set the variable in a BAT file, so I maybe able to "parse" the version of Java that is installed.
What escapes me is why NX needs the variable,

Regarding the mess with the searching in the manual ,...
where each new java update again kills the workarounds Siemens provides.
Could we somehow pass the Java version to Internet Explorer when we start the manual from NX , such that the search works consistently. ?

Tomas
