Tracker 6.3.0 windows installer missing bundled JRE

Hi

I just downloaded Tracker 6.3.0 for windows and after installing it I'm unable to launch because it's missing a java runtime environment 1.8.0

In the program files folder there is a "OpenJDK-21.0.5.jre" folder but not the "9.0.4-x64-jre" folder.

If I install the 6.2.0 version and then upgrade to 6.3.0 it works because the "9.0.4-x64-jre" folder is present.

I ran into the same issue! It seems like the 6.3.0 installer doesn't bundle the older JRE properly. Installing 6.2.0 first and then upgrading worked for me too, but it's definitely not ideal.
