The Delphi 13.0 installer fails if JDK is not already installed
What version of Java JDK do I need to install before installing Delphi / RAD 13 ?
That would make it much more complicated due to Oracle JDK licensing: it’s only free for non-commercial use.
Plus there are lots of CVE’s for Java things, hence if there’s a dependency, is our software affected?
I really hope you could be wrong. Can someone from Embarcadero confirm or deny, please?

Good point Alexander
I didnt screen grab the error, however the install log shows this
**
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\37.0\GetItInstall.log**
Downloading “AndroidSDK”…
Extracting “AndroidSDK”…
Checking if Java JDK is already installed on the system…

Ah, that’s for Android, it’s fine, it’s unavoidable, I suppose.
Just as long as VCL/FMX are unaffected

I believe you can go back to that screen from the IDE and add features one by one (for example).
Maybe the error is related to that Eclipse / OpenJDK option ?
It has been known to fail if you already have a JDK installed that is incompatible (such as the older Oracle JDKs). I have not heard of it failing if there is no JDK at all when the OpenJDK item is selected as part of the install.
