Hello @iSeiryu

Regarding the community thread that you linked, one of the answers is there that the [Specific JDK needs to be installed separately](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/could-not-find-java-executable-in-java-home-or-path-when-scanning-with-scanner-for-net/42331/4).

And regarding the SonarScanner for .NET documentation you linked, the first bullet in the prerequisites is Java 11 or greater.

All the best,  
Čaba
