Installing Android Studio, does not point to a valid JVM installation error
I just downloaded the Android Studio. While trying to run it, I had to modify the environment variable and add
JAVA_HOME
and
C:\Progra~2\Java\jdk1.6.0_22
Once I finished that hurdle, now I am receiving another error:
The environment variable JAVA_HOME (with the value of *C:\Progra~2\Java\jdk1.6.0_22*) does not point to a valid JVM installation.
I looked through other similar questions and I was asked to check the version, so I did the following in CMD:
C:\Users\Andre>java -version
java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode, sharing)
C:\Users\Andre>javac -version
javac 1.6.0_22
From the results it seems like I have JVM.
I also tried these paths for JAVA_HOME, I closed and reopened a new CMD window each time
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_22
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_22\bin
Solution 1:
Point your JAVA_HOME variable to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_xx\ where "xx" is the update number (make sure this matches your actual directory name). Do not include bin\javaw.exe in the pathname.
NOTE: You can access the Environment Variables GUI from the CLI by entering rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables. Be sure to put the 'JAVA_HOME' path variable in the System variables rather than the user variables. If the path variable is in User the Android Studio will not find the path.
Solution 2:
It is absolutely possible that all other answers work for people but for me this path worked:
Leave your JDK path under JAVA_HOME System Variable as it is given here. Do not append bin or another path. It worked for me.
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\
Otherwise I am getting this error:
Installing Android Studio, does not point to a valid JVM installation error
Solution 3:
Updated android studio to 1.2.1. Even though I was getting the same error. Nothing worked, finally replaced JAVA_HOME with JDK_HOME and it did the magic.
