=== Reconfigure LogicalDOC to use Java 17 on Windows ===

Starting from version 8.9.1 LogicalDOC does not work with Java11 anymore so you have to install Java17.
Please read first [https://docs.logicaldoc.com/en/installation how to install the right Java to use with LogicalDOC].

It is important to install Java17 and not Java18 nor Java19, because Java17 is the latest LTS (Long Term Support) release available at the moment.<br><br>

Given '''<LDOC_HOME>''' the installation path of LogicalDOC (by default it is C:\LogicalDOC), please proceed as follows:

1. Install [https://docs.logicaldoc.com/en/installation Java17 from Oracle or OpenJDK17]

2. Open a shell as Administator and go to '''<LDOC_HOME>'''\tomcat\bin\

3. Execute the command '''LogicalDOCw.exe //MS/LogicalDOC'''

4. This creates a tray icon with the LogicalDOC’s logo

5. Right click on it and choose '''Configure...'''<br/>

10. Open a shell as Administator and go to '''<LDOC_HOME>'''\update-wd
