Have tried installing ZAP 12.0 on a fresh install of Windows 11. Received error unable to find Java JRE 11 64 Bit. I quit the install, downloaded JRE ( jre-8u361-windows-x64.exe). and installed it. I also set up a user and system environment variable EXE4J_JAVA_HOME set to C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_361\bin. After system reboot I still get the same error. Anybody  have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

You've installed Java 8 - ZAP needs a minimum of Java 11 :)

Well that's embarrassing 🫢. I've installed JDK 19 and all is good. My slight defence is that JRE 8 is the default download JRE for windows since Oracle changed their licensing model. Thanks for your help and quick response.
