I may have asked this before, but have any of you done a shared central install of ACS before ?

I did not do it but you might find some information here https://developer.ibm.com/articles/i-ibmi-access-client-solutions-customization-trs/#option-3-remote10 and here https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-i-access-acs-getting-started#9.3

Also without installing Java JRE locally ?

If iACS finds a java installation in a subdirectory of the directory of acslaunch program that you use, it will use this java. No need for any installation. At least for Windows.

Here is how I set it. I just downloaded the JRE, unpacked it, copied in the subdirectory.

PowerShell 7.5.0
PS C:\Users\Marco> cd C:\Users\Marco\IBM\ClientSolutions\Start_Programs\Windows_x86-64

I have ideas on how I would do this, but if someone else has paved the way your thoughts would be appreciated.
