I cannot dump a database from Neo4j Desktop on Windows 10. I am using OpenJDK 11, Neo4j Desktop v1.4.11 and the DB version is v4.4.2.
From what I have seen in other posts, this works fine on Linux/Mac but not on Windows. Also, as this is using the Neo4j Desktop interface, I have no control over the path name.
The error I get in the Desktop log file is:
[error] Selecting JVM - Version:11.0.8+10-LTS, Name:OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM, Vendor:Azul Systems, Inc.
