Is there a way to prevent that the Java installation routine (e.g. jdk-7u1-windows-i586.exe) copies java.exe into C:\Windows\system32 directory?
I have to install my software on a client's laptop and I don't want to break other Java applications which are already installed on the machine. In other words I want to install a private JRE which is only used by my software.
By now, I copied an already installed JRE from my computer to the client's machine.
I discovered yesterday that there is a problem with Java versions on Windows, as you know keeping java up to date these days is critical, especially the JRE used by Internet explorer located in the Windows system32 or syswow64 folder.
You can perform a search for java in your C: drive and look at the various executable files it finds to determine if the situation applies on a specific system.
After doing some research I find that when the Java updater runs, it only updates the files installed in the JAVA home , usually located on the program files, but it does NOT update the files located in the windows system folder. As a result and since the system folder is in the default system PATH , the usage of Internet Explorer continues to use an old version of the JAVA files ( java.exe , javaw.exe , javaws.exe )
The solution is to uninstall java using the control panel uninstall programs feature, download most recent version and install again.
Cheers!

I recently upgraded to java 8 and discovered this problem as the java version under system32 was still java 7. It stops you even running version as it complains about the registry keys
U:\>java -version
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.
Doing the following pointed me to the culprit:
U:\>where java
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin\java.exe
I 'solved' this problem by just deleting the java under system32! I'm unsure of what consequences this will have.
You can just provide the JRE you want to use on your software and:
Set the JAVA_HOME variable before you run your application
Point to the correct java.exe file (e.g. ..\jre1.5.0_22\bin\java <your_java_main>)
This can be done in a *.bat file for example.
After running the *.bat file you created, all other java version will be ignored and it won't matter which versions are, or will be, installed on that pc.
I found the newest JDK still doesn't write correct code against registry.
The issue is if a computer doesn't have JRE, JDK doesn't register JRE in registry correctly.
For those install JDK 1.7u72 Just add Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment as the error message indicate. And add a string entry of CurrentVersion with value 1.7.
And then add Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.7 and put a JavaHome string entry with value "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7". And JRE will function correctly.
Blame Oracle, if you use Registry, then write correct code, otherwise don't use the Registry!
All you have to do is go to Control Panel -> Programs Uninstall a program. Uninstall the old java updates and keep the newest java update and java development kit update. Your newest java update and java development kit update should have the same number.
Windows 10 Solution
Check Java Version in Console (CMD) with java -version
Check in Console (CMD) with where java, which Java Path's are enlisted.
If it you shows you "C:\Windows\System32" in its output, you will have a problem to get to your %JAVA_HOME%, where your wanted Java version resides.
Meaning, you need to get rid of "java.exe" in "C:\Windows\System32".
Just uninstall the JRE in the Software ("Programs and Features")
Hint: Keep in mind, do NOT the JDK, here in my case "Java SE Development Kit 8 Update (64-bit)"), but the JRE.
One way I would try would be to create a write-only empty file with the name java.exe into the System32 folder.

I have downloaded and installed the iReport 4.5 using te Windows installer. But when I try to start the iReport it shows the splash screen but does not start.
My JRE version is 8.
There's another way if you don't want to have older Java versions installed you can do the following:
1) Download the iReport-5.6.0.zip from https://sourceforge.net/projects/ireport/files/iReport/iReport-5.6.0/
2) Download jre-7u67-windows-x64.tar.gz (the one packed in a tar) from https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase7-521261.html
3) Extract the iReport and in the extracted folder that contains the bin and etc folders throw in the jre. For example if you unpack twice the jre-7u67-windows-x64.tar.gz you end up with a folder named jre1.7.0_67. Put that folder in the iReport-5.6.0 directory:
and then go into the etc folder and edit the file ireport.conf and add the following line into it:
For Windows
jdkhome=".\jre1.7.0_67"
For Linux
jdkhome="./jre1.7.0_67"
Note : jre version may change! according to your download of 1.7
now if you run the ireport_w.exe from the bin folder in the iReport directory it should load just fine.
don't uninstall anything. a system with multiple versions of java works just fine. and you don't need to update your environment varables (e.g. java_home, path, etc..).
yes, ireports 3.6.1 needs java 7 (doesn't work with java 8).
all you have to do is edit C:\Program Files\Jaspersoft\iReport-nb-3.6.1\etc\ireport.conf:
# default location of JDK/JRE, can be overridden by using --jdkhome <dir> switch
jdkhome="C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_45"
on linux (no spaces and standard file paths) its that much easier. keep your java 8 for other interesting projects...
iReport does not work with java 8.
if not yet installed, download and install java 7
find the install dir of your iReport and open the file: ireport.conf
(you will find it here: iReport-x.x.x\etc\ )
change this line:
#jdkhome="/path/to/jdk"
to this (if not this is your java 7 install dir then replace the parameter value between ""s with your installed java 7's path):
jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_67"
While ireport does not officially support java8, there is a fairly simple way to make ireport (tested with ireport 5.1) work with Java 8. The problem is actually in netbeans. There is a very simple patch, assuming you don't care about the improved security in Java 8:
http://hg.netbeans.org/jet-main/diff/3238e03c676f/openide.util/src/org/openide/util/WeakListenerImpl.java
I didn't even use the exact netbeans source used by ireport. I just downloaded the latest WeakListenerImpl.java in full from the above repository, and compiled it in the ireport directory with platform9/lib/org-openide-util.jar in the compiler classpath
cd blah/blah/iReport-5.1.0
wget http://hg.netbeans.org/jet-main/raw-file/3238e03c676f/openide.util/src/org/openide/util/WeakListenerImpl.java
javac -d . -cp platform9/lib/org-openide-util.jar WeakListenerImpl.java
zip -r platform9/lib/org-openide-util.jar org
I am avoiding running eclipse just to edit jasper reports as long as I can. The netbeans based ireport is so much lighter weight. Running Eclipse is like using emacs.
I fixed this on my PC,
on my environment
iReport was iReport-5.1.0 ,
both jdk 7 and jdk 8 had been installed.
but iReport did not load
fix:-
1. Find the iReport.conf
//C:\Program Files (x86)\Jaspersoft\iReport-5.1.0\etc
Open it on text editor
copy your jdk installation path
//C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_60
add jdkhome= into the ireport.conf file
jdkhome="C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.8.0_60"
Now iReport will work
It works only with JRE 1.7
just download it and extract to your prefered location
and use the following command to open the iReport
ireport --jdkhome Path To JDK Home
With ireport 4.7.1, after setting jdkhome in etc/ireport.conf, ireport.exe doesn't start. No splash, no window.
When I launch ireport_w.exe in a cmd, I get this message:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
Solution:
In file etc/ireport.conf, on the line starting with default_options, I have reduced the value of -J-XX:MaxPermSize to 256m instead of 512m
default_options="--branding ireport -J-Xms256m -J-Xmx512m
-J-Dorg.netbeans.ProxyClassLoader.level=1000 -J-XX:MaxPermSize=256m"
I have installed IReport 5.6 with Java 7: not working
I tried to install Java 6 and added the path to "ireport.conf" file like the attached screenshot and it worked fine :D
So the steps is :
Install IReport 5.6
Install JDK 6
Edit "ireport.conf" file like the below image and Enjoy ;)
I was tired of searching on google how to run iReport with java 8.
I did everything as said on the Internet,But I don't know why they weren't work for me.
Then I Change My Computer JDK Current Version form 1.8 to 1.7 Using Registry Editor.
Now it work fine.
To Change Current Version
Start => Type regedit (Press Enter) => HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE => SOFTWARE =>
JavaSoft => Java Development Kit => Change Key Value of CurrentVersion From 1.8 to 1.7
For me, the combination of Stuart Gathman's and Raviath's answer in this thread did the trick in Windows Server 2016 for iReport 5.6.0.
In addition, I added a symlink within C:\program files\java\jre7 to jdk8 like this:
cmd /c mklink /d "C:\program files\java\jre7\bin" "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_181\bin"
because iReport was constantly complaining that it could not find java.exe within C:\program files\java\jre7\bin\ - So I served it the available java.exe (in my case V8.181) under the desired path and it swallowed it gladly.
I have downloaded and installed the iReport 4.5 using te Windows installer. But when I try to start the iReport it shows the splash screen but does not start.
My JRE version is 8.

I just download Android Studio for Windows 7, the wizard went ok up to the end but now when I click on the shortcut or on the .exe to start the program nothing happens, no error, no new window, it's seems like it is doing nothing. Do you have any suggestion?
It's a bug of Android Studio 0.1v
You should add JAVA_HOME to the system environment variables.
http://tools.android.com/knownissues#as0.1
Open Start menu > computer > System Properties > Advanced System
Properties
In the Advanced tab > Environment Variables, add new system
variable JAVA_HOME that points to your JDK folder, for example C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21
Install latest Java Development Kit.
Set path in system variables for Java (ie *C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\bin*)
Set JDK_HOME system variable (ie *C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21*)
If not working, set JAVA_HOME in system variable too (ie *C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21*)
If not working, check if you don't have spaces at the ends of the lines in system variables (PATH, JDK_HOME, JAVA_HOME)
You don't have to restart computer after changing system variables, just reload command prompt (if you are using it).
If it still not working, you probably have java.exe in C:/Windows/System32/. Rename it, restart command prompt and type java -version to check if you are using correct version of JDK.
I've posted tutorial how to fix Android Studio with screenshots on my blog.
I have had a similar problem with Android Studio 1.0 in windows 7 x64. When I ran studio64.exe it flashed the android studio logo and it disappeared immediately. Also I tried
studio64.exe > error.log
to figure out possible errors. JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_25 environment variable was correctly setted.
Finally I decided to uninstall all Java versions (I had a mess of different java versions installed), both jdk and jre and reinstalled last version jdk 1.8.0_25. My problem was solved.
Regards,
Sometimes it might get stuck in memory. Open task manager, terminate android stuido. Open it up again.
If you install new the version of android studio.
It requires new jdk 1.8.
Just install the latest jdk 1.8 and android studio will work without the need to manually edit any environment variables.
You have to add a new system variable named ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK or JDK_HOME with the path to your JDK install folder, such as C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\
I had the same exact problem and did try to do every thing manually nothing worked except for this command when I finished it finally launched. Open CMD with administrator if possible then put the following command:
set path="$PATH":C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\bin
Then just try to launch it should work.
This is the only thing that worked for me.
Make sure you have Java 1.8 (JDK) or higher and update java_home and path to this version.
I did every tips but i checked AS requirements and updated jdk do 1.8.xx
It's possible there is a problem with your username (and name of the user folder). It shouldn't contain non-latin letters.
I had solved my problem (no response to an attempt to run Android studio) when I tried running the application as another Windows user (with name that consists of English letters only)
I got the same problem, but with no error message.
I found a studio.bat file and dig in it. There, I found some tips:
I found out thet the variable suggested in a previous post is incorrect.
ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK is no good.
STUDIO_JDK is the one.
Also, just to make the things/solution worst to corner,
I've uninstalled jre and jdk then reinstall jdk only.
The setup variables are like this:
JAVA_HOME is now pointing to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_172\bin
JDK_HOME is pointing to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_172
STUDIO_JDK is pointing to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_172
It's a mess but it's working...
Is it because I uninstalled/reinstalled java sdk and jre? or just the env. variables? who knows :)
Specs:
i5 with 4gig ram
win 10 32bit
In addition to following the steps pointed out by Tigris I also had to run the Android Studio with Administrative rights. Not sure why but I just made it in a few minutes ago.
Follow the steps here: http://tools.android.com/knownissues#as0.1
Run Android Studio as Admin
There is Another Issue
http://tools.android.com/knownissues
open a "cmd.exe" (command prompt), cd to the android-studio\bin folder and run "studio.bat". You will most likely see an error: for example b/55267 is about the option -XX:+UseCodeCacheFlushing not being recognized. Report the error, remove the line from the studio.exe.vmoptions or studio64.exe.vmoptions and it should now work.
There could be a process still running in the background that would need to be killed in the task manager. The name of the process is studio64.exe (at least that's the name on my machine). Could be because I am running a 64-bit OS. After killing this process, try to run Android Studio again, and it should work.
If your path and/or environment variables are not pointing to the correct JDK, things won't work properly.
A rock solid solution, especially if you must have multiple JDKs installed (e.g. Java 6/7/8) is to create a batch file to launch Android Studio.
Create a new file called studio.bat and place this somewhere outside the Android Studio installation, e.g.
c:\mydevstuff\launchers\studio.bat
(if you put the batch file anywhere in the android-studio folder, then you'll have problems when updating Android Studio).
Put the following code in the new batch file:
#echo off
REM Can make paths relative to SCRIPT_PATH if necessary
set SCRIPT_PATH=%~dp0
set ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK=<JDK Path>
set JAVA_HOME=<JDK Path>
set PATH=<JDK Path>\bin;%PATH%
cd <android-studio Install Path>\bin
start studio64.exe
Replace studio64.exe with studio.exe if you need the 32-bit version.
Replace
<JDK Path>
with the path to your JDK, e.g.
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25
Replace
<android-studio Install Path>
with the path to your Android Studio installation, e.g.
C:\Program Files\Android\android-studio
Now you can just run the batch file to start Android Studio.
Additional:
If you want to pin to the Taskbar, then create a shortcut to the batch file and then change it's target to:
cmd.exe /c "<path to bat>\studio.bat"
Then pin this shortcut to the Taskbar by drag-and-drop.
You can also set it's icon from the original Android Studio studio.exe file.
I ran into this problem and these steps fixed it.
Remove ALL older JRE / JDK versions
Set values for JDK_HOME & JAVA_HOME to path of JDK install
if you use android studio version 2.3.3 you should have JDK with version 1.8 in the system environment values ,
to add it
click on Computer (in windows 7)
System properties
Advanced system settings (at the right)
Advanced (tab)
environment variables button
and edit the value of name JAVA_HOME to the file which contains jdk 1.8
if you don't have this variable make a new one
I'm trying to install Java to use Eclipse (I followed all instructions to install Java and Eclipse) but my Eclipse is not starting due to some bad configuration I guess. I can't figure out why it's not working for me.
Eclipse Installation:
Extracted Eclipse at C:\eclipse
Created a shortcut to my desktop having target C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe
When I try to run Eclipse with this shortcut, I see following Eclipse splash screen for a second and it disappears. Eclipse does not start at all.
JAVA Installation:
Installed JDK at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10
Installed JRE at C:\Program Files\Java\jre7
Environment Variables Configuration:
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10
PATH = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin;
I tested my Java installation using the console and figured out this issue but I don't know how to fix it, and I guess this is causing Eclipse not to start.
Problem:
Go to Eclipse folder, locate eclipse.ini file, add following entry (before -vmargs if present):
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin\javaw.exe
Save file and execute eclipse.exe.
please try to execute java from
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin
i.e from the location where java is installed.
If it is successful, it means that the error lies somewhere in the classpath.
Also, this guy seems to have had the same problem as yours, check it out
Check that downloaded eclipse/JDK/JRE is compatible with your processor/OS architecture that is are they 32bit or 64bit?
Not able to run Appium {“message”:”A new session could not be created. (Original error: ‘java -version’ failed
I used Jdk 1.8 and JRE 1.8, Classpath is also set properly but I observed that Java command gives Error to initialization of VM (java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object)
Solution:
Uninstalled JRE and JDK completely
Installed JRE 1.8 then
Installed JDK 1.8
Set Classpath
check Java command works or not and its working
also able to execute the Appium program thru Eclipse Kepler Service Release 2 with JDK1.8 support
I had the same error in my case was when I needed to update jdk 7 to jdk 8, and my bad was just I installed jdk8 and I never installed jre8, only that, the error was solved immediately when I installed jre8.
Try placing the desired java directory in PATH before not needed java directories in your PATH.
I had the same issue on Windows 7 and I had to install both JDK and JRE and it's a success.
I faced the same problem,Eclipse splash screen for a second and it disappears.Then i noticed due to auto update of java there are two java version installed in my system. when i uninstalled one eclipse started working.
Thanks you..
I've observed this with STS and Eclipse and running java from CMD too on Windows 7/8/10 and following was my simple solution:
Actually, when I installed JDK 8 and STS/Eclipse it created one directory i.e. C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath with the following files:
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaw.exe
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaws.exe
Along with that, it appended Path Environment variable of System with this location C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
I've just removed above entry from Path Environment variable of System and added the location of the actual JDK instead i.e. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin
Now that is not necessary to add that -vm option in eclipse.ini or
SpringToolSuite4.ini either.
I just spent about 1 hour to figure out possible solution for the same error.
So what I did under MS WIndows 7 is following
Uninstall all Java packages of all versions.
Download last packages Java SE or JRE for your 32 or 64 Windows and install it.
First install JRE and second is Java SE.
Open text editor and paste this code.
public class Hello {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("test");
}
}
Save it like Hello.java
Go to Console and compile it like
javac Hello.java
Execute the code like
java Hello
Should be no error.
sometime you missed some file like I missed my one file rt.java
so better to check yours .........
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_112\jre\lib
0

I'm having a problem getting my android dev environment setup in Windows 7. I follow the instructions here, as well as several environment sublinks. I am using Eclipse with the Android plugin. I have installed the Java JDK several times, in various locations (jdk-6u20-windows-i586.exe) - but I am obviously missing something.
Every time I run "android create avd --target 2 --name my_avd" I get an error:
C:\Users\andrew>android create avd --target 2 --name my_avd
WARNING: Java not found in your path.
Checking it it's installed in C:\Program Files\Java instead.
ERROR: No suitable Java found. In order to properly use the Android Developer
Tools, you need a suitable version of Java installed on your system. We
recommend that you install the JDK version of JavaSE, available here:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/
You can find the complete Android SDK requirements here:

This error message is the reason for me installing the JDK several times over. First I tried installing to a location on my e: drive. I then moved it to the default loc (program files (x86)\java\jdk.6.something. I also tried forcing it to go into the program files\ path, but it still automatically installs into the (x86) path. I have added the install path to my path environment variable every single time, yet I still continue to get this error. My suspicion is that windows 7 and the android tools are not playing together well in terms of finding the JDK, but who knows, it may be something entirely different. If you have seen this error before, I would appreciate a hint.
I had this same problem, after accidentally installed the 32-bit version of Java SDK. I uninstalled it and installed the 64-bit version (since I'm using Windows 7 64). The Android SDK setup never found Java correctly, even after I added it to my PATH variable!
After a bit of digging around, I discovered a java.exe floating around in my system32 folder, which in the order of the PATH variable came before my SDK path. After whacking the java.exe in my system32 folder, the Android Setup ran just fine!
Hope this helps.
The android command is just a Windows Batch file which in turn uses the batch file tools\lib\find_java.bat to find Java.
Having a look at the source, it does the following:
Looks to see if java.exe is on your PATH.
Looks for java.exe in somewhere under %ProgramFiles%
Your problem arises because you're using the a 64-bit version of Windows. This means %ProgramFiles% is C:\Program Files but Java is installed in C:\Program Files (x86) as it's a 32-bit application, meaning find_java.bat doesn't find it.
So to fix this you'll need to add the directory containing java.exe to your PATH environment variable.
You'll need to the add the directory containing java.exe - something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk6\bin - on to the end of PATH with a semicolon in front of it to separate it from the previous entry.
This question on superuser.com covers maintaining Environment Variables in Windows 7.
It is really hell with JDK detection...
My params: Win 7 x64 + JDK x64 (JDK path (c:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin)
Was googling and playing around with env variables may be 1 hour - no way.
Finally come with such solution
Manually edit android-sdk-windows\tools\lib\find_java.bat by hardcoding the path to java.exe
set java_exe=c:\Progra~1\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe
if not defined java_exe goto :CheckFailed
:SearchJavaW
set javaw_exe=c:\Progra~1\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe
if not exist %javaw_exe% set javaw_exe=%java_exe%
goto :EOF
Thats works for me.
In the SDK tools folder go to libs and edit find_java.bat. It can usually be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools\lib.
Change all instances of %PROGRAMFILES% to %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%.
I did this and the error went away.
Find android-sdk-windows\tools\lib\find_java.bat and add something like the following:
set java_exe=
call :TestJavaDir "%JAVA_HOME%"
if defined java_exe goto :EOF
What worked for me was this:
add a path to your java/bin directory to the system Path variable. Do NOT include java.exe.
Steps on Win 7 64bit:
Click Windows Button
Right Click on Computer
Select Properties from the Context Menu
Click Advanced System Settings on the top left section
Click the Environment Variables... button at the bottom of the properties dialog
On the bottom list (System variables) find the "Path" variable
Click the Edit button
Go to the end of the textbox and type something like c:\program
files\java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin (make sure it matches the name of your
java directory!)
Click OK
Click OK
Click OK
Try it out!
hth,

I put rem statement in android.bat after the call command and hardcode the path of \bin\java.exe:
rem Check we have a valid Java.exe in the path.
set java_exe=<..>\jdk1.6.0_31\bin\java.exe
rem call lib\find_java.bat
if not defined java_exe goto :EOF
Same for setting other variable javaw_exe thus:
set javaw_exe=<..>\jre1.6.0_31\bin\javaw.exe
if not exist %javaw_exe% set javaw_exe=%java_exe%
goto :EOF
C:\Windows\SysWOW64

I also had this same problem
-> accidentally installed the 32-bit version of Java SDK -> uninstalled -> installed the 64-bit version (Windows 7 64) -> -> the Android SDK setup never found Java correctly!
I discovered a java.exe floating around in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder.
After renaming this java.exe to javaX.exe, the Android Setup ran just fine!
