cantact can't find Java

[vguttmann]

After downloading the precompiled v0.3.0, and trying to start it, it says that it can't find Java 1.7 or higher. when I run java --version in PowerShell or the normal command prompt, I get the following output:

java 17.0.8 2023-07-18 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.8+9-LTS-211)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.8+9-LTS-211, mixed mode, sharing)

Both the 32- and 64-bit build refuse to work, and launching it from the command like doesn't give me more clarification.

However, installing Java 8 seems to do the trick
