Here's what the messages might look like in context:

Possible Cause¶
The most common cause for this is that the JRE being used by the application is different from the one configured in Squish when the SQUISHDIR/bin/squishconfig program was run last. This can occur if Java gets updated (automatically or manually) on the computer or when the Java configuration gets changed in the Java control panel.)
Possible Solutions¶
For applications using the globally installed JRE¶
Ensure that only one JRE is installed on the computer (additional JDK installations are okay however). Uninstall all the other JREs and run the SQUISHDIR/bin/squishconfig program again to ensure that Squish gets configured for the one remaining JRE.
For applications using a JRE bundled with the application.¶
Run the SQUISHDIR/bin/squishconfig program again to ensure that Squish gets configured for this particular JRE.
