This is probably a duplicate of https://github.com/kaikramer/keystore-explorer/issues/52

You can find workarounds for this problem in that ticket.

Probably, yes. I just would like to confirm that the application fails to start despite the JAVA_HOME and PATH are configured correctly. So, the temporary workaround I'm using is just running the jar rather than .exe .

kaikramer commented 5 years ago

KSE uses launch4j for the .exe and launch4j right now only checks the registry for Oracle's Java installations but completely ignores JAVA_HOME (or the PATH). That's going to change in the next release of launch4j (see https://sourceforge.net/p/launch4j/feature-requests/127/). When the next launch4j release is out, I'll update KSE and then all the problems with running KSE under Windows should vanish.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to create a bug report. I'll close this as a duplicate of #52.
