Cannot install amidst-v4.*.exe with OpenJDK/JRE 8 #566

Open UrsBeeli opened 4 years ago

Windows 10 64 bit

I have openjdk-8u232-b09 installed on my machine and I have set JAVA_HOME to point to C:\Program Files\Java\openjdk-8u232-b09\jre. If I open cmd.exe I can start java without trouble: > java -version openjdk version "1.8.0_232" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_232-09) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.232-b09, mixed mode)

However, if I double click on amidst-v4-2.exe or amidst-v4-3.exe they both fail with a popup window telling me:

Error in Launcher: This application requires a Java Runtime Enivronment 1.8.0

When I click the OK button, my browser opens the Oracle JRE download page.

Is there any way to run Amidst using the JRE that comes with the OpenJDK?

It seems the Java launcher doesn't check JAVA_HOME to find the installed JRE, and use registry keys instead (see: https://sourceforge.net/p/launch4j/feature-requests/127).

Make sure that the registry keys mentioned in the above link (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\CurrentVersion and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\<java version>\JavaHome) are correctly set.

You can also run Amidst using OpenJDK with the following command: java -jar amidst-v4-3.exe
