On windows 7, the menu Item “Uninistaller” does not launch the uninstaller

[ByronCinNZ]

After installing GeoNetwork on Windows 7 64 bit systems, I have noticed that shortcuts in Start->GeoNetwork ("Uninstaller") do not launch the right application. I have researched this and it seems to be a bug in the IZPack installer with windows 7 64bit. The argument “command Line” does not seem to find the correct value for “target” at certain situations. The published patch for 64 bit systems I found did not work. My solution was to leave the “commandLine” blank and move its value to “target” as follows:

Instead of : target =”java” commandLine==”-jar "$INSTALL_PATH/Uninstaller/uninstaller.jar" ”

I used: target =”java -jar "$INSTALL_PATH/Uninstaller/uninstaller.jar" ” commandLine==””

reproduced on Win7x64

• Uninstall contains target='...../license.html' -jar ...
• However in shortcut-definition, target for this shortcut is 'java', target in previous item is '.../license.html'

Tried to reproduce in WinXPx32, but error did not occur.

Seems like a bug in IZPack, did not find any similar behaviour on their website

Workaround might be, put uninstall shortcut before license shortcut
