Told that Java is not found when trying to launch skin editor

Java is installed and up to date but the skin editor won't pick it up. I get this prompt every time. If I select OK I get a brief progress bar and then nothing.

Java has not been found on your computer. Do you want to
download it?


Windows 11

I had a look but it's just saying to update VLC, and this post was 3 years ago (I still keep thinking it's 2024 now). I'm using the latest version of VLC. For some reason it's not detecting Java despite them being installed to the same drive. Is there some way to manually point it to where Java is installed?

Hi,

you can set "JAVA_HOME" as environment variable to select the path to java. We're talking about https://www.videolan.org/vlc/skineditor.html and not VLC right?
