LO Base on 64 bit Win 10 does not accept installation of jre-8u231-windows-i586.exe; It does accept jre-8u231-windows-x64.exe install same with previous versions).
64 it JRE runs fairly well except when editing forms (which typically includes editing tables and quries). Crash is not immediate. Usually takes 5-10 minutes of editing. Sometimes forms, etc are saved (after a variable amount of time); sometimes not. To me it smells something like a stock overflow rather than a code bug; a code bug would be more consistent in behaviour.
I do not see how the title of this question is related to LibreOffice - but one thing: You absolutely need to use 64-bit JRE if you have LibreOffice 64-bit installed. There is no way to use 32-bit JRE in conjunction with LibreOffice 64-bit.
My mistake. I am runnning 64 bit LO so naturally it won’t accept 32 bit JRE. (I was under the mistaken impression that LO was only available in 32 bit-God knows fron where that came).
So this question can be deleted.
The question now becomes why I get the crashes (on two separate machines). Will come up with anoher question soon.
Thanks for the fast reply.
