Re: Java problem
Another thing that works is having a copy of the jar or bat file inside the respective java folder, and installing it into Arena from there. Probably not the most elegant solution, but it works well especially when having separate Java versions installed.

If you want to be able to execute java.exe without navigating to the bin folder, you can add the OpenJDK bin folder to the system path in the Windows environment variables."
I followed your advice, unfortunately without result. Maybe, because I have several versions of java installed. Thanks anyway.

Oh, I think I have just learned why the system does not recognize version 11. Thanks!sandermvdb wrote: ↑Sun Dec 09, 2018 11:00 pm Best option for engine testers is to use OpenJDK I think. It is free and runs Java 11 binaries.
One drawback is that there is no executable so you have to add the java.exe manually to your path.
