Newbie:
Per installation, guide installed Zulu via @ Zulu.org
Created and unzipped Zulu 8 into
C: Program Files (86)\Zulu\zulu8.31.0.1-jdk8.0.181-win_i686 folder
Sub folders here: bin,demo,include,jre,lib, and sample
The install did not create zulu_jdk\bin\ should it have ?
How does it get integrated into Win10 ? it was just unzipped to a folder.

Then to Windows Prerequisites:
Added c:\openHAB2 folder

Will you use windows as openhab server? There are some other options to test openhab if not.

Yes will use Windows as openhab server. I have several machines as spares.

Well then definitely worth figuring windows out. I was thinking you could run out ofdocker or virtual box.
