Joel Knighton commented on CASSANDRA-12702:
-------------------------------------------
This looks like a duplicate of [CASSANDRA-12278] to me. It is fixed in the
3.0.9 release as well as the upcoming 3.8/3.9 releases.
> Windows Installer: Incorrectly checks for Java version later than 1.8.0_40
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-12702
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12702
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Packaging
> Environment: Windows 8, Java version 1.8.0_101
> Reporter: Josh Hemen
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: easyfix, windows
> Fix For: 3.7
>
>
> A configuration script incorrectly checks the installed version of Java
> against version 1.8.0_40, causing cassadra not to run. The file affected is
> "apache-cassandra-3.7-bin.tar.gz", downloaded from the Cassandra download
> page. The error is in the file appache-cassandra-3.7/conf/cassandra-env.ps1
> at line 416. The problem is with this check:
> $env:JVM_VERSION.CompareTo("1.8.0_40") -eq -1. It is comparing the versions
> as strings and not as numbers. This works up to java update 99, be fails
> after. It should instead compare each section of the version as numbers,
> perhaps individually.
