In cmd prompt, if I type "java - version", it not tell me nothing if it is 32 bits or 64 bits.

As it´s installed in "Program Files (x86)", looks like it´s 32 bits (and Octave is 64 bits).

I didn´t found a "JavaSoft" in HK_LOCAL_MACHINE registry.

It´s available only in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft

Txt file is attached.

Thank you. I will install 64 bits version.

(file #44393)

@yamane,

which type of java does the screenshot show - for win64 octave, you will need the win64 java installed. It will not detect the 32 bit version.

Likewise for the win32 octave needing the win32 java.

I'm going to go ahead and close the report.  It can be re-opened if troubles appear with the 4.3.90 release candidate.

A 5.0.0 cross-build nicely detects Java 10 on my Windows 7 box.
I suppose that result equally applies to the stable branch, but I'll leave this report open in case someone wants to be sure.

While testing bug #53520 I noted that the NSIS-installer doesn't detect Java > 8 during installation of the windows binary.
After installation Octave (with patch from bug #53520) does find Java > 8 so it is the installer proper that hicks up a bit.

Apparently a a patch for the NSIS installer itself is needed along the lines of the one by Markus in comment #2 in bug #53520.
