Java 11 not detected although it is installed

SonarQube

I am having some problems installing SonarQube, can I get some support with this?
I installed a fresh Windows Server 2019 Standard machine

After some struggles on the Oracle site, I downloaded and installed JDK 11.0.3

After doing some troubleshooting, I added a System environment variable as follows:

JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.3\

But, when I try to run \sonarqube-7.9.1\bin\windows-x86-64\StartSonar.bat I get the following error:

Any idea what is causing this?

Hi,

what’s the output of java -version ?
In any case you might put the path to JAVA_HOME\bin\java into %SONARQUBE_HOME%\conf\wrapper.conf

# Path to JVM executable. By default it must be available in PATH.
# Can be an absolute path, for example:
#wrapper.java.command=/path/to/my/jdk/bin/java
wrapper.java.command=Java
[...]

see documentation https://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com/doc/english/integrate-simple-win.html#wrapperconf

java -version did not work
I added the java bin path to the path env variable and this solved the problem

Hi,

ok, after you added %JAVA_HOME%\bin to PATH (assumed this had already been done, as for me it’s always part of java installation) the default entry in %SONARQUBE_HOME%\conf\wrapper.conf

wrapper.java.command=java

works now.
