Running without installing Java [java jdk] [java vm]

Q: Hi, anyone know where I can

Does on a Windows system without installing it?

I mean, like extracting a directory, add the bin directory to the path, set the environment variables, so I could run Java without installing the system. Im not interested in integrating into browsers (JRE part) or something . I just want to run without installing the system.

Is it possible? Java is Sun offering such an option?

Thanks

As long as you don't care about browser integration just extracting the folder should be enough. I've done it in the past.

That was what I initially thought … I don't want browser integration, since this will work on a server, and it's browser won't be used except for some windows update.

Now I believe Sun doesn't have a zip version for download, just an exe, so I must install on another machine, then copy the directory for the server … or is there any other way? Does the exe have any argument for extraction only?

Thanks
