Zipped JRE will be downloaded from the TeamCity server during the installation phase (there is no JRE's zip bundled to TC Server now, you have to put "agent-jre-win32.zip" archive under "TEAMCITY_SERVER_ROOT/webapps/ROOT/update" folder). {hidden-data}

  2. Sysinternals psexec.exe on the TeamCity server. It has to be accessible in paths. You can install it using Administration | Tools page.

The (Windows) .exe TeamCity distribution comes bundled with Java 1.8.0_161.
If you run a previous version of the TeamCity agent, you will need to repeat the agent installation to update the JVM.

If a build agent uses a Java version older than the recommended Java 8 (e.g. Java 6 or 7), you will see the corresponding warning on the agent's page and a health item in the web UI.
