Thank you, this was fast, easy, and it works! Was following a tutorial from one year ago that wasn't working for me, so I try to find a more recent one. Lo and behold, I found this uploaded only 3 hours ago.... thank you, youtube algorithim!

OK, a problem solved: I downloaded the latest version of Ghidra that calls for v, 21 JRE, also downloaded. Problem I had was Ghidra would start in the console saying it could not find JRE. I discovered after downloading JRE.zip, there is no installer.
It won't work just setting path to the binaries. JRE must be installed on windows (I used the .msi as in the video)
After that installation, Ghidra runs just fine. My use is for a compressed firmware file. Is there a method in Ghidra to expand this?
The compression is not one of the common algorythms.

I got a quick Question. Can Ghidra be launched from a USB drive if JDK isn't installed on the PC but on the USB drive?

Java version 12.0.2 (64-bit) is outside of supported range: [21+ 64-bit]

what should I do?

[JohnDoe-ub]

I get this error:
JDK 21+ (64-bit) could not be found and must be manually chosen!

Enter path to JDK home directory (ENTER for dialog): C:\Program Files\Eclipse
Java version 11.0.25 (64-bit) is outside of supported range: [21+ 64-bit]
Enter path to JDK home directory (ENTER for dialog):

Anybody knows what's wrong?

I find it very odd that literally no one ever mentions the verification process that everyone should follow when downloading such software .
