Re: New Database (Java problem)
A known problem. You have to install the 32 bits version of Java, because AOO for Windows is still 32 bits.
LibreOffice 25.8.4.2 on Ubuntu Linux

Re: New Database (Java problem)
I downloaded and installed it and it's properly recognized. Are you sure that you did everything correctly, didn't install it on a medium where AOO can't find it or anything else?
If nothing helps, consider moving to LibreOffice.

Re: New Database (Java problem)
Did you install the 32-bit version in Program Files (x86) instead of Program Files ?
