If you have this error in RStudio  use Lauren s environmental code above and change your R version to the 32 bit version in Tools  Global Options  There should be both 32bit and 64bit R options if you have a newer version  This will require a restart of R  and limit your memory options  Installing the 64 bit version of the jre won t be required though

I had a similar issue  It is caused due the dependent package  rJava   This problem can be overcome by re-directing the R to use a different JAVA HOME   if Sys getenv  JAVA HOME             Sys setenv JAVA HOME       library rJava    This worked for me

I had a similar problem what worked for me was to set JAVA HOME  I tired it first in R  Sys setenv JAVA HOME    quot C  Program Files Java jdk1 8 0 101  quot    And when it actually worked I set it in System Properties - gt  Advanced - gt  Environment Variables by adding a new System variable  I then restarted R RStudio and everything worked

An alternative package that you can use is readxl  This package don t require external dependencies

The reason is probably linked to the fact you are using a 64-bit OS and R version but do not have Java installed with the same architecture  What you have to do is to download Java 64-bit from this page  https   www java com en download manual jsp  After that just try to reload the xlsx package  You shouldn t need to re-start R

Its because either one of the Java versions 32 bit 64 bit  is missing from your computer  Try installing both the Jdks and run the code  After installing the Jdks open R and type the code   system  java -version     This will give you the version of Jdk installed  Then try loading the rJava package  This worked for me
