Exporting as stand alone application

I exported Processing application as a standalone application with embedded Java, but the exe does not work in computers where Java/Processing is not installed. Even if the Windows 64 bits works with Java embedded, the 32 bits does not work with Java embedded or not. The computers that do not have Java already installed open the Windows 64 bits exe but not the Windows 32 exe (with java embedded in its exporting process). Here's the post in Processing forum: https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/25373/no-export#latest Can it be resolved? Thanks.

You can only include the Java version for the type of machine you're running on.

If you're on a 64-bit Windows machine, then you can only include Java in the 64-bit Windows application. If you're on a 32-bit Linux machine, then you can only include Java in the 32-bit Linux application.

If you really want to include Java for a bunch of different machines, then your best bet is to find each type of machine and do the export from them. Find a 32-bit Windows machine and do the export there, then find a 64-bit Linux machine and do the export there, etc.

You might be able to hack something together by downloading the JRE for each type of machine and manually including it, but that might get pretty tricky. Note that this is not as simple as just copying a folder into your application directory. You're going to have to change the run script file as well.

Shameless self-promotion: I've written a tutorial on exporting applications from Processing available here.
