[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53520] Windows builds made with Java 8 JDK on Linux cannot find Java 9 JRE on Windows 10

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #35, bug #53520 (project octave):

@Markus: Well any straw to hang is good ATM :-)
But yes I remember that I saw a VC++ runtime being installed when installing
Java 9. I'll give that a try.

It could also be Windows 10 itself; that has all kinds of obscure policies
that are changed behind our backs with any major feature upgrade. Then again
on my desktop's Win10 Java 8 works, while on my laptop's Win10 it doesn't work
now but used to work some time ago.  
All of this is one reason I rarely use Win10. Currently I only have it around
as reference OS to test Octave on.

Back to topic:
Agreed that the patch should be applied.
