Not recognizing java version

[EsbenMadsen]

Hi there,

I just downloaded Audiveris and along with it java, but no matter which version of java I use I get the same error message:

WARNING: Current Java version 1 is lower than required 21
WARNING: Please install Java version 21 or higher

Now, I've checked my java version in a windows terminal which returns:

java -version
java version "21.0.6" 2025-01-21 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 21.0.6+8-LTS-188)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0.6+8-LTS-188, mixed mode, sharing)

So far I have tried this with the latest java 23, 21 and java 17 because of a previous forum post. I always get the same error.

Sorry for this late answer, I've been away from my laptop for a week.

The only item I can think of is a JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing to some old Java software.
Could you check this?

For instance via a command like the following one in a terminal window:

echo %JAVA_HOME%

@EsbenMadsen

Any news on this?
Have you checked the JAVA_HOME environment variable?
