Have been fighting with this for a while. I have tried with the download packages that include the JRE, those that don't, the 32 bit version, installing in different locations (Program Files vs my project folder) and when I click on the exe, it seems to run for couple seconds and then just goes away. I never get any error or indication of anything happening.
Following instructions on other threads on this site, I ran the exe from the command line in BIN and got:
java.lang.module.FindException: Module jdk.jdi not found
I have verified that I have JRE 1.8:
C:\>java -version
java version "1.8.0_281"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_281-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.281-b09, mixed mode)
I have seen some other posts about removing the JDK and just leaving the JRE, but unsure if I will need the JDK for other apps.
I have also uninstalled the JRE (including old versions) and reinstalled it.
My most recent extract/install was to Program Files/sqldeveloper, but it behaves the same as when I tried to run it from a project folder in My Documents.
At a bit of a loss as where to investigate next. Thanks for any pointers
