Issue/Introduction

Customer reported having a problem starting XCOM.  They tested it previously and were able to use it normally.
 
But recently when they tried to start XCOM they got the following error: 
 
Error: XCOM_JAVA_HOME directory C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_251 not found

Environment

OS:  Windows Server.

Cause

-

Resolution

We provided them with these remarks--from which the problem was resolved:
-
 
It seems there has been a Java update on the machine (maybe automatic) and at the same time it
 
uninstalled the old--previous version "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_251".
  
 
So the environment variable XCOM_JAVA_HOME and XCOM.GLB parameter XCOM_JVM both
 
need to be updated accordingly--to point to the new Java version installation directory.

Additional Information
