Why I cannot find C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_31\bin\javaw.exe? [closed]

Java is a program that other programs (like Minecraft) are built on. If you can't find that Java executable, chances are the problem is:

  • You don't have any version of Java installed. You will need to install Java.
  • You have a different version of Java installed. The folder jre1.8.0_31 refers to Java version 8, update 31. Try going to C:\Program Files\Java\, or C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\ - do either of these locations exist, and is there another/different jre folder?
