[p2-dev] Re: Product updates broken on win32 w/embedded jre? (Eclipse 3.

[Casey Marshall <casey.marshall@xxxxxxxxx>]

Finally found this issue on Bugzilla after much digging. Came up with a workaround patch to the p2 engine and posted it there https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=300812#c11

It's not a great fix or anything, but at least I can sleep again :)

Hi,

I'm testing my p2 repo capability to do product updates and it is working fine on Linux, but failing on Windows.

I found this thread, but there is no resolution http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=tree&goto=496177&#page_top

Our product has to ship with an embedded JRE on Windows. How can I get product updates working? Is there a way to have the product update skip the root files to avoid this issue? JRE won't change often, it'd be reasonable to have the customer reinstall in such a case.

Thank you,

Casey
