Hi,

My first advice is to download the JDK installation package once again and repeat the installation again.

There are other means but try this one first.

BR,

Well, for Windows 7 I suggest to choose JDK SE 8
Why not 9?
Why not 9?
According to my experience for that purpose Windows 10 is required.
You could be right - not sure ;) Seems odd
For sure the choice of JDK depends on the tasks. As an example I've tried to launch NetBeans under JDK 9 and it doesn't work as it should. So I went back to JDK 8.
I've an awful feeling that 9 is the first JDK to break anything. e.g. if you relied on java.ext.dirs before - you're out of luck
Migration sounds so much better than 'breakage' doesn't it? ;)
Agree :-)
The question was asked a bit ambiguously.
