  The HCL Traveler server component functions as a Domino® server add-in task and responds to Domino server console commands. Topics in this section describe common administrative tasks for administering a HCL Traveler server.

Installing using a customized JVM on Windows™ operating systems

You might want to use a customized Java™ virtual machine (JVM) during the installation. For example, if your custom JVM has been enabled to work with a screen reader, such as JAWS for Windows™. Make sure that you use Java™ 11 or later.

Note: Starting with the Traveler 14.5.1 Installer is built with InstallAnywhere 2025 R2. InstallAnywhere 2025 R2 does not support Java™ 8. When using the LAX_VM option specifying a Java™ 8 JVM, the installer will fail with a JNI error.

For details about supported Java versions, refer to the InstallAnywhere documentation on supported Java Virtual Machines Supported Java Virtual Machines.

Locate the HCL Traveler installation application.
From a command prompt, change the directory to the location of the installation application.
Launch the installation application using the LAX_VM option to specify which JVM to use:
installername.exe LAX_VM fully-qualified java.exe path
For example, TravelerSetup.exe LAX_VM C:\Program Files\hcl\domino\jvm\bin\java.exe
