Edit the "Path" variable under the System Variables. Ensure the folder containing Java’s binaries is included in the list (typically C:\ProgramFiles\Java\jre21\bin). If not add it to the top.
Create an Installation folder
Choose a directory where the Middleware will be installed (e.g., C:\Flowics).
