Yes, that's exactly "logger.info('+checking for java: ' + java_bin)". It seems a problem related to the locale. I was reconfiguring from a cygwin shell, whose locale is UTF-8, apparently something alien to Windows. I now tried reconfiguring from a cmd.exe window and the result is: ... checking for a java interpreter... +checking for "java"... no +checking for java: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_281\bin\java.exe ... So, it works. However, to avoid confusion, you should avoid logging the first negative result. Or, maybe, on Windows report something like this: ... checking for a java interpreter... +checking for "java" in PATH... no +checking for "java" in registry... C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_281\bin\java.exe ... And, yes, I know making things work for everyone is exhausting...
