Where to get this Java.exe file for a SQL Developer installation

Solution 1:

I found my java.exe that worked for SQL Developer at C:\ORACLE11G\product\11.2.0\client_1\jdk\bin where C:\ORACLE11G is my Oracle Home. The client that I have installed is 11.2.0.

Hope this helps.

Solution 2:

I encountered the following message repeatedly when trying to start SQL Developer from my installation of Oracle Database 11g Enterprise: Enter the full pathname for java.exe.

No matter how many times I browsed to the correct path, I kept being presented with the exact same dialog box. This was in Windows 7, and the solution was to right-click on the SQL Developer icon and select "Run as administrator". I then used this path: C:\app\shellperson\product\11.1.0\db_1\jdk\jre\bin\java.exe

Solution 3:

You need to install JAVA SDK and give the path upto bin directory which contains the java.exe file.

example - c:/programfiles/java/jdk/bin
