Suggested fix for Issue #37240 - Update documentation for the changes I needed to install Java using the scripts (#37241)
* Update BuildFromSource.md
When following these steps, I noticed an error installing the JDK in the repo using the included script, so I had to follow these additional instructions to get past that.
Source for the instructions : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4037939/powershell-says-execution-of-scripts-is-disabled-on-this-system
* Update BuildFromSource.md
Additional step to temporarily set environmental variable
* Update BuildFromSource.md
