[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53520] Windows builds made with Java 8 JDK on Linux cannot find Java 9 JRE on Windows

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #53520 (project octave):

If I'm reading the patch correctly, it should be checking for both
'\software\javasoft\jre' and '\software\javasoft\java runtime environment\',
regardless of what the version number is. In my experience that is the more
robust approach, check all possible paths with all possible version numbers,
rather than trying to encode information about which path goes with which
version.

The error message is indicating that both checks failed, first it tried the
path containing '\jre\', then it tried '\java runtime environment\', and both
did not exist.

Philip - you never answered comment #4 as far as I can see, what is the proper
registry key path on your system with Java 9 installed?
