[Solved]How to change the directory forge looks for the JDK?

[RiokuTheSlayer]

Hey! Wondering, How do I change what directory the forge setup looks for the JDK? I seem to remember it being possible in older versions (Around 1.3.x I think). Is it still possible?

 

In case you are wondering why, I don't have administrator permissions on here. It'd be nice not to have to install it anyway.

 

I remember there being a line  somewhere that you change what directory it looked for, and then i remember it "patching" the files at every launch so I had to disable that to keep the new directory option.

 

 

Thanks for your help! RiokuTheSlayer

This is the 1.6.4 version by the way! I'm going to mess around on here and wait for the 1.7 version to fully update before upgrading myself

Are you having troubles compiling? If so, you'll need to set your PATH variable to the most updated JDK. But, since you don't have admin permissions, this won't help you.

 

If you're not having compiling issues, what is the issue more specifically?

I know how to set everything up, There's no problem. But I remember there was a was in previous versions to edit one of the .py files to change the directory it looks for the JDK. I was wondering if anyone knew how to do that, Since I couldn't find my previous post (It was on the normal MC forums and on an older account). If there isn't a way anymore then I'll just ask for the administrator to re-install the JDK

Oh! The administrator went ahead and installed it for me. Case closed! Woo!
