[Solved] Base not finding Java Runtime Environment

Post by rasputinxxxx »

I updated to the latest version of Java and subsequently Base does not find the Java Run time environment.

I followed the instructions and found the Java file but base says it can't find Java in the file.

Did you make sure to get the 32 bit version of Java - needed by the Windows distribution of AOO which is 32 bit?

Possible workarounds - if you have 32 bit Java now :

- try to install an older version of the Java. The AOO maybe is not compatible with the latest versions of the Java.
- change to the LibreOffice. It has more compatibility with the updated environment, and the LO has 64 bit version for Windows.

My AOO 4.1.7 and the AOO4.1.1.3 portable versions can recognise the installed 32 bit Temurin Java 1.8.0_312 version.

Thanks for the help.

I checked for an older version on my wife's pc and my lap top without any luck.

Java not installed on those two computers.

I google the internet for older vesions and found a site but ti said these have not been updated and are not recomended for installation because of security aspects.

I developed a work around and will be suing that for not.

I am keeping the data file in archives hoping that LibreOffice and / or LibreOffice will be updated to use the current JRE.

I have both Open office and LibreOffice.

Any chance that the developers will update OpenOffice and / or LibreOffice so that they are compatible with the current version of Java?

OpenOffice - no hope.
LibreOffice - maybe.

(The developers of the LibreOffice extremly decreased the Java dependency of the LO when the license of the Oracle Java has been changed. MOST of the functions works without Java. (And there are some older third party extensions written in Java...)

Done and it worked.
