Starting from version 8.9.1 LogicalDOC does not work with Java11 anymore so you have to install Java17. Please read first 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.

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

5. Right click on it and choose Configure...

8. Click on Apply and then Ok

9. Restart the LogicalDOC service

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