Can I get rid of the large JRE folder that comes with CustomMailer if I already have Java?
No. The JRE folder is about 2.5MB and contains the Sun JRE 1.1.8_008 release of the Java Runtime Environment. CustomMailer was developed and tested extensively with this exact Java virtual machine and set of libraries. While in theory any Java 1.1 or later version should work, we have found that these releases differ in small but sometimes significant ways. The presence of other Java environments and configuration settings on your system could also lead to unexpected problems. For these reasons, we have opted to package CustomMailer with its own self-contained Java environment and libraries, which CustomMailer.exe tests for and uses. In this way we can ensure that CustomMailer will neither affect nor be affected by any other Java environments on your system, whether previously or subsequently installed or uninstalled.
