The JIRA Windows installer bundles a recent version of the JRE. However when asked to install JIRA as a service on a machine with a JRE already installed, the existing JRE is used in preference to the bundled one.

Showing the version of JIRA already installed:

and that version later in use in JIRA:

After some discussion, it was agreed that this is the correct behaviour. The installer will ONLY use the bundled JRE version if no JRE can be found on the machine JIRA is being installed on. Otherwise, it will use whatever JRE is set via the JAVA_HOME variable.

We have changed our minds on this one! It seems it is a good idea for the installer to always use its own JRE.
