Could not install JRE in OpenOffice

[titfortat]

Hi everyone,

I have used Openoffice base for one year. It's no problem before to install Jre and openoffice. However, this time, I buy a new computer with windows 10 and openoffice 4.1.3. I tried many times in same way, could not detect Jre according to different people said methods.
I install 32bit/ 64bits Jre and select tool -> openoffice -> java -> jre. never detect Jre and could not open my database with message asking me to install Jre. Please help me, I am frustrating! Thank you very much!

Hi and welcome to the forum!

You need to install the 32bit version of JRE because AOO is a 32bit application.

Please add '[Solved]' at beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

It may be caused by a bug in AOO 4.1.3 which should be fixed in AOO 4.1.4. See the workaround in this bug report:

Issue 127176 - Java not recognized after update to AOO 4.1.3

I had the very same problem. Replaced failed hard drive and installed everything new, then AOO wouldn't recognize Java. My problem was solved using the link in comment 23 at the link given above by Bill.
AOO still didn't automatically detect Java but I was able to use the Add button successfully.
