After installing Oracle Db, Sql developer is asking "Enter the full pathname for java.exe" .
I have installed java deveopment kit, so I browse for java exe file in jdk1.8.0_151 /bin. After clicking ok, the same widnow with the same msg is still there ("Enter the full pathname for java.exe"), does anybody know how to fix that?
I have tried to reinstall , but nothing changed.
TY
Did you consider downloading Windows 64-bit with JDK 8 included so that you wouldn't need to worry about JDK? Installation notes say:
This archive includes both SQL Developer and an embedded copy of the Java 8 Development Kit (JDK). Simply extract the zip to a fresh directory and run the sqldeveloper.exe in the top directory. The EXE is configured to run the embedded JDK by default.
More info here.
I am having some difficulty installing oracle sql developer. I downloaded the 64bit/JDK8 combo install from oracle and unzipped it to my downloads folder. I am running a 64bit version of Windows 10. From there I tried to run the sqldeveloper.exe. at this point I get a message saying:
"Unable to launch java virtual machine
Located at
C: /CHMil/downloads/sqldeveloper/jdk/jre/bin/server/jvm.dll."
Now the thing that has made this difficult is when other people have this problem on stack overflow their message says "unable to find" not "lauch". And their fix is to edit the sqldeveloper.conf and remove the setjavahome line.
My setjavahome line says:
"Setjavahome ../../jdk"
From what I've read this is not what it should look like. When I try to delete it I get the same message. If I try to complete the path directly to the jvm.dll. I get the same message. And now I have given up getting any help from oracle haha so this is my last shot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
An update was downloaded automatically by my 2.6.3.RELEASE Build 201411281425.
STS (Spring Tool Suite) asks to install it and when I click on the pop-up window it does some things and then stops with the following message which seem to indicate that it wants to delete itself.
I can understand why this fails but I am not sure why STS would think that this was possible.
I could not find any instructions about manually installing the zip file that is available as a download as an alternative way to upgrade my installation.
How do I fix the automatic install or manually install the zip?
(I am on Windows 7)

Start the STS you want to upgrade and before you click on "Check for Upgrades", with STS still running, rename the STS.exe file you just started, to something else, like "STS_old.exe". That should do it.
The message sounds strange, I've never seen this before. To install a fresh copy of STS, just download the ZIP file from the download page (the one that matches your operating system and pick the right 32bit or 64bit one, depending on your OS and the JDK you are using). Then unzip, and start STS.exe. That's it.
I've installed Oracle 11g r2 to my machine and when I opened Oracle SQL Developer it says: java 1.6.0_02 is not supported and telling me to install new java version.
Then I've installed JDK 1.6.0_27 and set the path in environment variables and run Oracle SQL Developer again, but the same error occurred.
How can I change the settings for Oracle SQL Developer to recognize 1.6.0_27 as my SDK?
In windows 10, I needed to go to following folder and change following product.conf file and set SetJavaHome directive.
%APPDATA%\sqldeveloper\<product-version>\product.conf
in my machine:
C:\Users\ati_o\AppData\Roaming\sqldeveloper\17.4.0\product.conf
with following line.
SetJavaHome C:\Tools\oraclejdk8
Thanks to comment from #thatjeffsmith, in MacOS or Linux/Unix, go to:
$HOME/.sqldeveloper/<product-version>/product.conf
to set same SetJavaHome directive.
sqldeveloper.conf under sqldeveloper/bin in the SQLDeveloper base directory has an entry for the java home being used.
(So, on Windows, if you have unzipped SQLDeveloper to C:\sqldev then sqldeveloper.conf is under C:\sqldev\sqldeveloper\bin)
Something like:
SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_20
Quit SQLDeveloper, remove this entry and relaunch SQLDeveloper. You should be prompted for the location of Java.
Go to sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin and edit sqldeveloper.conf file.
There you'll see
SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21
Change it to correct jdk path
With SQL Developer 19.1 (2018) I tried to install it with Java 11 but it failed, so for luck I still have an old java 8 version jdk8u202-b08.
If that happens you need to remove this folder
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\sqldeveloper
And then run the exe again
C:\..\sqldeveloper-19.1\sqldeveloper.exe
Yes, Oracle just made a dumb installation package to makes us waste our time...good job guys!!!
The thing is, there should be a wizard/installer to configure the java path, this is because the jdk that comes pre-configured just doesn't work. Personally, I had to edit to the sqldeveloper.conf
under sqldeveloper\bin just has Nivas said and change the pre-configured path "SetJavaHome ../../jdk" to "SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_73" - for earlier versions of sqldeveloper it's a requirement to have Java8 and be sure that if you install SQLDeveloper x64 version that the java version that you set in your path is also x64.
If you have MacOS:
->SQLDeveloper didn't worked on 15.0.1.(Oracle has mentioned that Developer supports either Oracle JDK 8 or 11.)
->Install JDK8 https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html (macOSx64)
->Go to cd /Users/amritshukla/.sqldeveloper/20.4.1
->Edit product.conf to add this line: SetJavaHome /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_291.jdk/Contents/Home
->Launch SQLDeveloper
This workaround helped many people (including me) during the last 12 months, so you must try it if you still have the problem:
Go to sqldeveloper\jdk\jre\bin folder and locate "msvcr100.dll"
Copy this dll to C:\Windows\System32 folder
Obs: you will need to provide administrator authorization to finish the file copy, so you must be logged on as a true windows administrator.
After copying the file, just try to start the sqldeveloper again. No reboot needed.
Hope this helps you too!
If you have MacOS :
Get the JDK home path
eg: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.4.jdk/Contents/Home
Go to
eg : cd /Users/sarath_sukumaran/.sqldeveloper/19.2.1
Edit product.conf to set SetJavaHome
eg : SetJavaHome /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.4.jdk/Contents/Home
Re-open the SQL Developer and check the Java version from 'About Oracle SQL Developer' > Version
Adding a solution for Mac.
Edit this file: /Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/Resources/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/jdk.conf
Uncomment the below line for SetJavaHome and give it the full path to JDK1.8. As of today, it does not work with JDK 11.
# By default, the product launcher will search for a JDK to use. If you wish
# to specify a JDK to use for all users of this install, uncomment the line
# below and set the path the the preferred JDK
#
# SetJavaHome /path/jdk
If you are using SQL developer > 4.x you can find this setting at this location on windows:
<USER HOME PATH>\AppData\Roaming\sqldeveloper\<VERSION>\product.conf
and change SetJavaHome to your JDK path. You can get the user home path on the command prompt using %homepath%.
Building on top of other answers:
For macOS 12.3.1 (M1 processor), SQL Developer 21.4.3, using sdkman to install Zulu 11.
mkdir -p ~/.sqldeveloper/21.4.3 (this directory didn't exist so I had to create it)
echo 'SetJavaHome $HOME/.sdkman/candidates/java/11.0.15-zulu/zulu-11.jdk/Contents/Home' >> ~/.sqldeveloper/21.4.3/product.conf
One solution is to install the latest Oracle SQL Developer. Link # SQL Developer Downloads . This installation will install and use the latest Java version 1.8.x.
The sqldeveloper.conf file resides at a newer location at ...\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin .
In order to change the version of SDK linked to your SQL developer, uninstall the other versions of SDK and install the required version. Once you install the required version, try running SQL developer it will automatically prompt you to attach the path. ANd you can provide the new path.
None of the sqldeveloper.conf had an entry in my case, and i downloaded another zip installation, which gave me same error for same JDK versoin, without me configuring anything, S

Issue: I was getting following error when try to open oracle sql developer
---------------------------
Oracle SQL Developer
---------------------------
Unable to launch the Java Virtual Machine
Located at path:
C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-8.0.322.6-hotspot\jre\bin\msvcr100.dll
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Resolution:
File msvcr100.dll was missing in the location *C:\Program
Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-8.0.322.6-hotspot\jre\bin*.
Hence
copied that file from C:\Windows\System32\msvcr100.dll TO
C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-8.0.322.6-hotspot\jre\bin*
This helped me to lauch the oracle SQL developer.
I am trying to install Oracle version win32_11gR1_database_111070, I am getting an error as Operating system does not supported at the time of environment checkup. Is there any way to install it?
Here's a blog posting explaining with pictures how to do it: http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/2009/11/27/oracle-11g-on-windows-7/
To summarize it, you check the "operating system requirements" checkbox yourself, and it will display as "User Verified", after which you can keep going.
This is specially for the window7 users who are stuggling in installing 11g release oracle
Most of the people finding hard to install and will be getting common error like "/WFMLRSVCA.App.ear "file not found is because the copied file from file win64_11gR2_database_2of2" is not copied in the proper file
The below steps is require to install your 11g database
copy first 4 files from win64_11gR2_database_2of2"
Open "Win64_11gR2_database_2of2
Then open the following folders database/stage/components
so on copy the copied files from 11R2 to the above mentioned folders
and it works alas i would be able to install the 11gR2 ...
