OmegaT 6.1 Windows with JRE version does not work on systems that do not have system-wide JRE installed.
On such a system, after the installtion is complete, when trying to lunch OmegaT, you will get an error dialog box shown as the picture, it says "This application requires a Java Runtime Environment 11.0.0".
I used the Weekly Builds version( OmegaT_6.1.0_Beta_Windows_64.exe 2023-10-09), and run it on Windows 10 system (Windows 10 pro 22H2, 19045.3448).
I have test it on another Windows 10 computer, and got same result.

The size of OmegaT.exe file of this version is 4404KB. I replaced it with the OmegaT.exe from OmegaT 5.8 (29KB) and everything worked fine.

    There is a difference among versions;
    
    OmegaT 5.6 - 5.8, 6.0 uses Launch4J 3.12
    
    OmegaT 6.1 uses Lanunch4J 3.50
    
    FYI There is a report that launch4j only working with Java11 reported in Oct 03, 2023

Thank you for the report. OmegaT 6.1 Weekly now bundles Java runtime 17 from Oct 09 Version.

When I download and launch, it seems to be installed as expected.
But OmegaT launcher does not recognize bundled JRE.
