If you plan to check more than one regkey than you should check in the
following order.

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit
3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\JDK
4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\JRE

1. for the last pre-JPMS-jre (max Java 9)
2. for the last pre-JPMS-jdk (max Java 8)
3. for the last     JPMS-jdk (    Java 11+)
4. for the last     JPMS-jre (max Java 10)

Starting with Java 11 you have to check the jdk first, because there is
nor jre anymore.
