Windows: Create link after upgrade or use fix path for each mayor version #600

The path to the JDK changes after each upgrade. So you have to set all paths again after each upgrade and restart the applications.

Currently I use mklink on Windows to create a unique path for each Java version. But this step has to be done manually after each upgrade. This is very annoying, if the frustration becomes too much for some I fear that the installer will simply be removed and security will suffer.

Can you please just use a fixed path for a Java major version or link from a fixed path to the new version after each upgrade?

I am a developer and use multiple Java versions at the same time, so it doesn't help me if the installer sets the environment variables. The new variables would only be active after a restart of the development environment and I would still have to manually select the correct Java version in each project.

I think this might be a duplicate of #422

@douph1 is this something you might be able to take a look at implementing? It's come up as a pain-point for people a few times now.
