Frequently asked questions
Is jlink.exe safe?
jlink.exe is a normal part of SapMachine 17 JDK when it sits in the program's install folder and carries the publisher's digital signature. A file with the same name in another folder can be something else: check its signature and hash.
Where is jlink.exe located?
By default the installer puts it in %ProgramFiles%\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-21.0.5.11-hotspot. The folder can be changed during installation.
How do I remove jlink.exe?
Uninstall SapMachine 17 JDK through Settings → Apps or with winget; the uninstaller removes jlink.exe with it. Deleting the file alone leaves the rest of the program behind.
