Wou. Interesting approach.  As you had not replied if you will elaborate on it, I had in meantime
did simialr patch (attached, not tested, literally just finished writing right now, and started to
warm up windows VM) - absed on yours, jsut with the pooling of registry.

My patch looks  a bit more rustlike - especailly it uses chain of match instead of loop, and TBH I
do not understand half of yours :)
What are the regQuery and RegEnumKeyExW for?
I do tt see versions in the query.. What is the pooled order? SHould be
jre8->jdk8->jdk11->jdkAnythingElse
Do you mind to comapre with mine patch? (and honestly say that it is garbage and yours is more
bulletproof - I do not expect more)


 I disagree with Your change to JAVA_HOME and PATH - because it can already be jre.  On contrary, if
it si jdk, then it is already valid. HAve that part bitten you somewhere?

Really thanx!
 J.
