Radim Hopp commented on JBIDE-20996:
------------------------------------

It looks like typical IzPack installer which is asking for JBOSS_HOME of existing EAP installation in second step.
_is it something that is stable we can rely on ?_ What exactly do you mean by that?
_Is there other runtimes that has it like this ?_ There are few more runtimes (fsw for example) which are using installer, but non I can think of requiring existing EAP.

> It's great that now, with JBIDE-19852 and JBIDE-20769 resolved, one can download DV 6.2 using Download Runtimes wizard and have the installation path pre-filled. But the DV 6.2 installator requires EAP 6.4 already present on user's machine (and the installation path must point to its JBOSS_HOME). If user does not have EAP 6.4, he has to exit wizard, install EAP 6.4 and then download (again) and install DV 6.2. 
> Is there anything we could do to make this workflow easier. 
> Maybe at least tell user to install EAP 6.4 prior downloading DV 6.2?
