Ahh, had not thought of that.
What you said on the set command, not my sloppy spelling.
Thanks Chuck.

Don't yet know why, but the batch file seems to mishandle "set

I'm guessing the line of code:
if exist "%IZPAK_JAVA%\bin\javaw.exe"
does not work because of double quotes ?
Or perhaps a side effect of the spelling error? That is, %IZPACK_JAVA% <> %IZPAK_JAVA%
Or the opposite problem of what is alluded? That is, the lack of double-quote delimiting on the SET is an issue rather than the existence of the delimiters on the existence test.? Without delimiters, if the path has embedded blanks [e.g. \Program Files\...], then the value set for the one variable LOCAL_JAVA might contain only the characters up to the first blank in the value of the other variable IZPACK_JAVA [e.g.
such that LOCAL_JAVA becomes just \Program and the exists appended with \bin\javaw.exe checks for the non-existent \Program\bin\javaw.exe file?
I have no Win client on which to test. For both consistency and requirements to support a path with blanks, but perhaps the following modifications should be made in the .bat file?:
SET LOCAL_JAVA="%IZPACK_JAVA%\bin\javaw.exe"
IF EXIST "%IZPACK_JAVA%\bin\javaw.exe"
The following [effective; may require reformatting] web search reveals some possible issues [none mentioning IZPAK_JAVA so the above possibly originated as a transcription error into the message] and
resolutions:
https://www.google.com/search?&q="if+exist"+"IZPACK_JAVA";
The following link [from the above search] seems to confirm something similar to my suggestion above.
