I am trying to include a separate java executable in my program, from
the java installed in windows OS.

Would it be allowed or generate error ?

Detecting which version of java each windows generates its own problem
and wanna see which options I have.

Any help would be helpful.


Thanks

Multiple versions of Java can easily coexist. Also on Windows.

You can even arrange for a program running in one JVM to launch another.
Non-GUI and GUI, respectively:

You can both have several versions of Java installed on the same
machine, and have several different Java programs running each in its
own independent JVM. They share some DLLs, but that is transparent to
you.

If you tell a computer the same fact in more than one place, unless you have an automated mechanism to ensure they stay in sync, the versions of the fact will eventually get out of sync.
