How do I install SoapUI without Java

Question

Downloaded product: SoapUI Windows Zip (64-bit Java not included)

Filename: SoapUI-5.3.0-windows-bin.zip

We have users that require specific versions of Java and I wanted to install SoapUI without Java, but the zip file doesn't include an installer or setup executable. I understand that I need at least Java 7, and I will have at least Java 7 on the machines. I jut don't want the SoapUI to install another version of Java 7+ on the machine during the install.

How do I go about installing this program without an installer?

You don't need to run an installer. You download it, unzip it somewhere and run soapui.bat from the bin directory. Make sure you have JAVA_HOME setup to point to the java you want to use.

Hi,
&nbsp;
Thank you for reaching out.
&nbsp;
Try to install the 32-bit installer. I guess it doesn't come with the bundled Java.
&nbsp;
Thanks

I always use zip version. In fact this is the easiest than installer.Did you follow fredsvar instructions?

I may have to try the zip install at some point and see how that works. I usually rely on the installer.&nbsp;

This option seems to work, however the Command Prompt Window runs in the background. &nbsp;If there is an open project and you accidentally close the command prompt window, SOAP closes immediately without prompting to save you file.&nbsp;I'm just presenting this concern in anticipation of how users will respond to using it this way.
