I manually installed jre-8u111-windows-x64.exe rather than using the automatic installer on java.com. Now octave-4.2.0-w64-installer.exe detects the JRE. Thank you for the suggestion.

Is the JRE 64-bit as well? or is it a 32-bit JRE?

I suppose 64-bit Octave requires a 64-bit JRE. At least on Windows 32 and 64 bit JREs can perfectly be installed alongside each other.

Laptop has Windows 10 Anniversary Edition 64 Bit with JRE 111 installed. But the Octave installer is unable to detect that the Java Runtime Environment is installed.
