[Terminal] Exec_tty error: Cannot run program "D:\...\bin\javaw.exe"

Let's make sure issue is not already fixed in latest builds first.

- [x] I verified I can reproduce this issue against [latest Integration Build of Eclipse SDK](https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/)

## Steps to reproduce

From an existing installation:

* Install the _Terminal view_ as described [here](https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/markdown/?f=news/4.37/platform.md#support-launching-with-a-terminal-console) (it's a new feature)

I tried

* Opened the terminal and tried a few commands. Everything executes as expected 👍
* Started the _Eclipse Application_ called `Runtime Workspace` (comes with the installation)

I expected: *the application starts*

But got: *this error instead*

## Here is some relevant log output

From `/.metadata/.log`
```
Message: Cannot connect to VM

```

## Tested under this environment:
* OS & version: Windows 10
* Eclipse IDE/Platform version (as shown in *Help > About*): **Version: 2025-09 (4.37) | Build id: I20250713-1800**

**Workaround**
I reverted back to my previous version (**I20250710-1800**) via `Help > About > Installation Details > Installation History` and that "fixed" the issue (the _Terminal View_ was gone but at least I was able to start the `Runtime Workspace` again).

When I ran the `Runtime Workspace` application again, I saw these errors in the console

I didn't have those errors before (with **I20250710-1800**) so I can only assume they are a left-over because I reverted back to a previous installation?

## Community

- [x] I understand reporting an issue to this OSS project does not mandate anyone to fix it. Other contributors may consider the issue, or not, at their own convenience. The most efficient way to get it fixed is that I fix it myself and contribute it back as a good quality patch to the project.
