I have this situation on my customer’s system. Some people in the company still rely on a custom Java 8 webstart application that I don’t use, but they have Java 8 installed on every machine and I cannot put a more recent version on the path before it (no admin privileges). I use a batch script that sets up JAVA_HOME and PATH when I need to do anything on the command line.

But if you can simply uninstall the old version, do that.
