Registry key Error: Java version has value '1.8', but '1.7' is required

While running

sencha app build production

I am getting the following error:

Error: Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'\CurrentVersion'

has value '1.8', but '1.7' is required. Error: could not find java.dll Error: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.

java -version , command is showing following:

java version "1.8.0_40" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b26) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b25, mixed mode)

Not able to find where path is going wrong. Any idea?

----------------------- EDIT ------------------------------------------------

Note: I am using Windows 7 (64 bit).

I have tried uninstalling the sencha touch cmd and reinstalling. But still same error.

I have uninstalled all the java version instances and reinstalled the latest one, Still the problem persist.

Solution 1:

After trying more than hundred of tricks, finally got success.

I removed all java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe from my

1. Windows\System32 and

2. Windows\SysWOW64 folder. [Try step 2 if you have x64 system (Win 7 64 bits)]

Solution 2:

In my case (Windows 7 64-bit), I just did the following:

• Removed the reference to C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath; from the Path environment variable
• Removed files java, javaw and javaws from the C:\Windows\System32 folder

Afterwards, I closed all open command line consoles, reopened them and ran java -version.

Solution 3:

1. open regedit
2. go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment]
3. change value CurrentVersion from "1.8" to "1.7"
