This isn't an issue with the pack, this is an issue with the way having multiple Java installs works, and the way batch files access Java. If you have multiple versions, unless you specify, the latest one you've installed will override the environment variables used to let cmd (and batch files) locate and use it without putting in the entire path to java.
What you can do to work around this is open the batch file's code in a program like Notepad (using "Edit" on the right click menu in Windows, or "Open With" in the same menu) and, assuming it works like any other Minecraft server batch I've seen, change "javaw" or "java" to instead be "C:[path to JRE executable location]\java.exe" for the version you want to use.
I can't say exactly where yours is located without knowing where you got your Java, but as I'm using Eclipse Adoptiom, my Java 8, for example, is located at "C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-8.0.332.9-hotspot\jre\bin\java.exe"
