Follow-up Comment #2, bug #53520 (project octave):

The attached patch changes the logic that searches the Java Runtime Library on
Windows to prefer the new registry key (>= 9) over the old one.
You can select the JRE version with the environment variable JAVA_VERSION.
I.e. the following manually selects the JRE 1.8 when both JRE 1.8 and JRE 9
are installed:

set JAVA_VERSION=1.8
octave


To revert to JRE 9 in the same command prompt, either set the environment
variable to empty before starting Octave again:

SET JAVA_VERSION=


or explicitly select the installed version. For me that is:

set JAVA_VERSION=9.0.4
