Please use JAVA_HOME if possible

[gbonk]

I installed Neo4J Community, then later I updated my Oracle Java via chocolatey.

When I restarted the Windows Service , Neo4j Graph Database, the service start failed and looking in the Neo4J logs directory there was an error saying it could not find, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll

Please, if the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set, set the registry key for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Apache Software Foundation\Procrun 2.0\neo4j\Parameters\Java\jvm to use the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

I have updated mine to the following and it works fine.

%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll

Ahh of course yes. That will be an issue. I'll update that as soon as possible. Do you know which version of Neo4j package you're using? That way I can make sure I publish a package you can use.

I am using the latest package.

It is important to know the difference between the JDK and the JRE. My path above is for a Java Home that points to a JDK, but if I was using a Java Home pointing to a JRE the path after Java Home is slightly different. Sorry I don't have an example handy

Hrmm. OK I've just realised something. The issue is actually within the Neo4j installer itself, not in my chocolatey package wrapper. Which means I can't fix this from within chocolatey. Would you like me to open an issue on your behalf on https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j or are you happy to do that yourself?

Oh...looks like it's already been reported. neo4j/neo4j#9257
