Installing Android Studio does not point to a valid JVM installation error

Question

I just downloaded the Android Studio  While trying to run it  I had to modify the environment variable and add     JAVA HOME   and      C  Progra 2 Java jdk1 6 0 22   Once I finished that hurdle  now I am receiving another error   The environment variable JAVA HOME  with the value of  C  Progra 2 Java jdk1 6 0 22   does not point to a valid JVM installation    I looked through other similar questions and I was asked to check the version  so I did the following in CMD   C  Users Andre gt java -version java version  1 6 0 22  Java TM  SE Runtime Environment  build 1 6 0 22-b04  Java HotSpot TM  Client VM  build 17 1-b03  mixed mode  sharing   C  Users Andre gt javac -version javac 1 6 0 22   From the results it seems like I have JVM   I also tried these paths for JAVA HOME  I closed and reopened a new CMD window each time  C  Program Files  x86  Java jre7 C  Program Files  x86  Java jre6 C  Program Files  x86  Java jdk1 6 0 22 C  Program Files  x86  Java jre7 bin C  Program Files  x86  Java jre6 bin C  Program Files  x86  Java jdk1 6 0 22 bin

Most probably the issue happens because of the incompatability of 32 bit and 64 bit excecutables  Suppose if you have installed 32 bit Android Studio by mistake and you will be downloading a 64 bit JDK  In this case 32 bit Android Studio will not be able to pick up the 64 bit JDK  This was the issue I faced  So I followed the below simple steps to make it working    Downloaded 32 bit JDK you can also download 64 bit Android Studio if you do not want to change the 64 bit JDK  Right click MyComputer   Advanced System Settings   under  Advanced tab    Environment variables   Under System Variables   Add JAVA HOME as key and your jdk eg C  Program Files  x86  Java jdk1 7 0 79  location as value  Save it and launch Android Studio  You are good to go now

Try using the above options  But this one worked for me  my JAVA HOME looked like this  C  Program Files Java jdk1 7 0 21 F  Software apache-ant-1 9 4-bin apache-ant-1 9 4 bin Only keeping the JAVA path in the JAVA HOME  Remove any additional path if you had given C  Program Files Java jdk1 7 0 21

Recently I am working with the 1 8 0 25 JDK version on Windows 8 1 and I had the same problem with this  But as PankaJ Jakhar said  The real solution for me was pretty simple    Add the JAVA HOME variable to the system ones  not on the user ones  The path I introduced for this variable was   C  Program Files Java jdk1 8 0 25     And it works for me

I had to put backslash at the end of path and it worked for me   Earlier I was using     C  Program Files Java jdk1 7 0 79   just by putting     at the end  worked for me  Now the value of the JAVA HOME variable is     C  Program Files Java jdk1 7 0 79

User · Answer

Point your JAVA HOME variable to C  Program Files Java jdk1 8 0 xx  where  xx  is the update number  make sure this matches your actual directory name   Do not include bin javaw exe in the pathname   NOTE  You can access the Environment Variables GUI from the CLI by entering rundll32 sysdm cpl EditEnvironmentVariables  Be sure to put the  JAVA HOME  path variable in the System variables rather than the user variables  If the path variable is in User the Android Studio will not find the path

It is absolutely possible that all other answers work for people but for me this path worked   Leave your JDK path under JAVA HOME System Variable as it is given here  Do not append bin or another path  It worked for me   C  Program Files Java jdk1 8 0 11    Otherwise I am getting this error   Installing Android Studio  does not point to a valid JVM installation error

My problem was different to any of the above as far as I can tell  I had a working version 1 1 of Android Studio and upgraded to 1 2 Then I got the JAVA HOME error when starting 1 2  The problem was that my JAVA HOME was set to  C  Program Files Java jdk1 8 0 20  with quotation marks included  I haven t put them there to quote the string  the quotation marks were in the Variable Value field  It appears that 1 1 is happy with the quotes being there but 1 2 is not   Removing quotes removed the error and 1 2 now opens fine
