Latest java version 8.0_101 incompatible with launch4j?

originally raised by jerichopumpkin in forum.

I have been able to replicate in Windows 7. I have been using 8.0_72 and downloaded and installed the latest version 8.0_101 but without removing 8.0_72. I updated JAVA_HOME and java -version returns 101 and when I double-click the jar it uses 101 as expected. BUT, when I run Magarena.exe it still uses 72 for some reason. If I rename the 8.0_72 JRE folder (ie. so it is not effectively installed) and run the exe I get the above error.

I actually had three versions of java installed - 8.0_51, 8.0_72 and 8.0_101. I removed 72 and the exe still worked by using 51 instead. I then removed 51 and the exe ran fine using 101 which I did not actually expect (I thought it would fall over).

So looks like this might be a problem if you have multiple versions of java installed on your system. To check...

• Open Control Panel -> Java.
• Click on the Java tab.
• Click the View button.

Seems to be a Java issue unrelated to the application. Java version have moved on significantly since this was reported.
