I have java version 21 and java 17 in my system. And for sonarqube, the version I am having is 9.8.0, but while running the sonarqube application, I cant able to start up the application.
The error shown in log file is,

SonarQube 9.8 supports (or rather requires) Java 17. In case you have two versions of Java installed on your machine make sure you set SONAR_JAVA_PATH by calling:
setx SONAR_JAVA_PATH "C:\Program Files\java_home\bin\java.exe"
Make sure you adjust the path to point to Java 17 in the above code snippet.
