Traccar will not install with latest version of java
Did you download offline installer version?
Yes. Its a bug in the traccar software. I had to install with an older version and then upgrade java after traccar was installed.
I don't think it's a bug. Check what version Traccar shown in the logs.
Hmmm I have the exact same issue (W10/J8.101) and how do you want to check the logs if the application does not install?
There are no logs if application is not installed. You can try same trick (installing older version of Java).
This is still an issue in Traccar 3.7
This is not a Traccar issue, it's an issue with Oracle Java installation package. Unfortunately there is no way to fix it from Traccar side.
I have the same issue just now. Traccar 3.14 vs JRE 9.0.1.
It's a known issue and we are waiting for a new version of YAJSW to fix it.
Hi @Anton, thanks for the info. I just used the JRE 8 for the time being, which works.
If anyone comes across this topic when searching for the solution, note that Traccar Server is installed as a 64-bit application on a 64-bit Windows, so it requires 64-bit Java (as suggested at the help page).
In my case I had installed only 32-bit Java (8u161), which is enough for 32-bit browsers, and I was confused why the Traccar Server installer complained about missing Java with the error like: 'This application requires Java Runtime Environment version 7 or later. Please download and install the JRE and run this setup again. If you have Java installed and still get this error, you need to re-install it from offline installer (for more info see https://www.traccar.org/windows/).'
PS: I wonder is it possible to install Traccar Server as a 32-bit application on a 64-bit Windows, so I could get rid of 64-bit Java, which had been installed just for the Traccar Server.
I don't know why people would use any 32-bit software on modern hardware, but you can try. I believe it should work, but I've never tried.
I resolved this issue the same way as AntonK. During installation there is a check whether 'JavaSoft' is located under localmachine/software in the registry. I automatically got a 32 bit installation when I downloaded it. I had to then manually request the 64 bit version.
Anton Tananaev: great product!! thank you very much for offering this to the community.
Traccar will not install with the latest version of Java 8 v101. The error message says it requires 7 or later. I also followed the directions to install java as administrator.
