My pc is a genuine Windows 10 64-bit system.
I'm currently trying to install JAVA 14 because a program I want to run requires that specific version. However, I've also tried installing the newest version of JAVA before and the same problem persists.
I installed via an exe. file from Oracle Archives. The installer runs and displays java has been successfully installed but upon entering java -version
in cmd, this text is displayed: 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
And as I said in the title, Java is not listed in my add/remove programs. The only thing the installer seems to do for me is to add a java file in program files (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.2) and nothing else.
I've also tried running the installer as administrator, disabling UAC and windows security and reinstalling as administrator, and also installing manually via the zip file, all to no avail (I couldn't find the described path file, in environmental variables, to edit in the manual install). Also tried JavaRa, and the program could not find any Java versions.
Also tried Jarfix as both user and administrator, does nothing.
java -version
, the current instance of command prompt may not be aware of the new java path
