JAVA_HOME on windows for runelite ( JNI Error fix ) #143
Description
so i dont know if people know this but you need to set JAVA_HOME in Environment Variables
to get runelite working
so if anyone reads this and you are on windows 11 (or 10)
now for windows 11 open settings and go to System
scroll down the way down now and click on About
in this menu you can see some info about you system/PC
now click on Advanced System settings
now click on the button that says Environment Variables...
now you are gone see this window popup
on the System variables look for JAVA_HOME if its there edit it and point to a JDK 17 install
now if JAVA_HOME is not there click on New... and you wil see this window
and it needs to look something like this
do keep in mind the first line is JAVA_HOME always the second line needs to be the path to the JDK / JRE folder.... For my System i have all my JDK's installed at C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium
this can be an other path depending from what vendor you installed / or gotten the JDK from
if you want the same JDK that i use here you can download it here https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?os=any&arch=any&version=17
i recommend just downloading the installer for java 17 from adoptium.net
if you want use an other one like a binary.zip from i don't know oracle or any other vendor you can do that just unzip it JDK somewhere and point the JAVA_HOME to it in Environment Variables
