JRE not found (Java 8)
 

Hello,

I upgraded Java to Java 8. I upgraded OO to 4.1.3 (AOO413m1(Build:9783) - Rev. 1761381, Since then anytime I enter " = " to start typing a formula in Calc OO crashes with the following message: "OpenOffice requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. The selected JRE is defective. Please select another version or install a new JRE and select it under Tools - Options - OpenOffice - Java."
then " Could not create a JRE implementation loader" (fatal error)
then, OO closes entirely.
So,1) I tried to get OO to recognize JRE but OO doesn't see my installed JRE (no version listed under "Java runtime environment already installed".
2) I then click on "Add" to find the path in C/ under which Java is installed but OO responds with "The folder you selected does not contain a JRE... Pls select a different folder". I am POSITIVE that I am pointing to the right folder - I see it in Windows Explorer.
3) I uninstalled Java 8 and reinstalled. Reboots in between.
Anyone knows why OO4.1.3 doesn't "see" java.exe in the folder I point it to???

Please help

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
