Reconfigure LogicalDOC to use Java 25 on Windows

Starting from version 9.3.1 LogicalDOC does not work with Java 21 anymore so you have to install Java 25. Please read first how to install the right Java to use with LogicalDOC.

It is important to install Java 25 and not Java 26 nor Java 27, because Java25 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:

1. Install Java25 from Oracle or OpenJDK25

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...

6. Now open the Java tab

7. In the Java Virtual Machine put the full path of your jvm.dll (something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-25\bin\server)

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

11. Execute the command 'update-wdw.exe //MS/LogicalDOC-Update

12. This creates another tray icon with the LogicalDOC’s logo

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

14. Now open the Java tab

15. In the Java Virtual Machine put the full path of your jvm.dll (something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-25\bin\server)

16. Click on Apply and then Ok

17. Define the a system variable JAVA_HOME pointing to the Java 21 installation path (something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-25)

18. Restart the LogicalDOC Update service
