Re: Windows 11 Oracle Is Requiring Account To Install Java 11

I finally told Oracle that I was a student and they seem to accept my
explanation.  I successfully downloaded JDK 11.  And I did download exist
distribution 6.2.0 win zip.  But instead of finding any executable files, I
only found xar files.  How do I install eXist on Windows 11?
