RipBot264 v1.18.3 - Simple and easy to use GUI -> IPOD . PSP . CONSOLES . BLURAY

"Java not recognized" problem.

I'm running as a standard user on Windows 10 x64. It's my machine and I also control the Admin account but run like this for security. Other than that my setup should be standard. And I have the same problem when I login as Admin, so I don't think that's the problem.
AMD Ryzen CPU.

I've downloaded and installed the latest RipBot264 v1.22.0.7. It finds my AVISynth and Haali installations, but not Java. I understand that RipBot264 needs the 32-bit version, and when I run command line "java -version" it says mine is 64-bit. BUT both C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_151 and C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_151 folders are present. So I think 32-bit Java is available.

The registry has the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft but that doesn't specify bitness, except for Chrome in which case it points to the (x86) Java folder (thereby accessing the 32-bit Java, I suppose).


SO - how is RipBot264 deciding that it can't access Java 32-bit?
Can I make this work by some environment variable change or other trick?


Thank you.
