audiveris Cannot start on Windows 10

Something went wrong with my installation of Audiveris_Setup-5.3.1-windows-x86_64.exe on Win 10 Home 22H2. As a layman I describe it as follows: The program tries to start, the command line opens for a second but fails immediately. What is missing? Charlyms

We can suspect a too old Java environment on your machine.

You can simply check your installed Java version by the command:

java -version

The 5.3.1 release needs Java 17 or higher. So please install Java 17 if needed.

Can the .bat and .sh files not detect whether the required version of Java is installed. I see that it does check whether Java is installed at all, but it doesn't check whether the version is sufficiently high.

Yes we can! :-) So much that this is already implemented in 5.4-alpha (see app:build.gradle lines 274..290 on the development branch) We should release 5.4 shortly

@hbitteur Great thanks. I was about to try to submit a PR for this. Was struggling to find where the .bat is, but now you've pointed me to the build process.
