Description
if you export a sketch on windows and do not check the "Include Java in the Windows (Intel 64-bit) application" box the generated executable will be unable to launch the program. after looking at the executable it appears this is caused by the command being set to %path% instead of javaw
Expected Behavior
the executable launches the program with no problem
Current Behavior
nothing happens

- make a sketch
- export the sketch with the "Include Java in the Windows (Intel 64-bit) application" box un checked
- attempt to use the generated executable
Your Environment
- Processing version: 4.3
- Operating System and OS version: windows 10 22H2 19045.3324
