Java not found after installation on Windows as a runtime

[RadekCap]

After installation on Windows from MSI package application fails when there is no Java installed which is correct:

After the latest installation of JDK (currently 21) the error message remains.

java -version
openjdk version "21.0.3" 2024-04-16 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-21.0.3+9 (build 21.0.3+9-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-21.0.3+9 (build 21.0.3+9-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

We have to let users what to do.

@RadekCap I'm running TR with Java 21 on Linux successfully, but will check again on windows.

From where was the installer built with which you face this issue?

[RadekCap]

Well, so it's the configuration issue. jdkhome isn't defined in trgtd.conf.

This line there fix the issue but user doesn't have a chance to know what to do:

jdkhome="C:\Program Files\RedHat\java-17-openjdk-17.0.11.0.9-1"

It's no big deal as the workaround is easy but I would let this open till we'll found some user friendly solution.

On Linux is detection working properly:

./trgtd-linux.sh 
Configuring the installer...
Searching for JVM on the system...
Java SE Development Kit (JDK) was not found on this computer
JDK 7 is required for installing ThinkingRock. Make sure that the JDK is properly installed and run installer again.
You can specify valid JDK location using --javahome installer argument.

JDK 7 is required for installing ThinkingRock

We have to work on the feedback though :-)

Looks like that's the minimum JRE version required to run the installer. Not related to the JRE we need to run ThinkingRock.
