Java mysteriously broke on my work PC after a security patch was pushed out to us  giving this error whenever you tried to run a Java program   Somehow the  lib  subdirectory of the Java 7 install had vanished   It might have been related to having multiple Java versions installed simultaneously   If you re getting this error there are basically two things that could be wrong   1  Your Java installation is broken   If the file directory it s complaining about doesn t exist  uninstall and reinstall the JRE and then it should be there   This fixed it for me   2  If the files are there  your PATH is somehow incorrect or pointing at an old broken Java install   In this case you either need to fix your PATH to point to the correct java exe javaw exe  or use a fully qualified path   So instead of   java  lt whatever gt    Use  c   lt full path to correct JRE gt  bin java exe  lt whatever gt    3  If your PATH is correct and files are there and it s still failing  the path could be getting truncated because it is too long   see  Running Java gives  quot Error  could not open  C  Program Files Java jre6 lib amd64 jvm cfg  39  quot

I want to add some pointers here   Whenever you face the error saying Could not open jvm cfg  it means that there was some mess happened with java installation path  Below approaches might help    If java is added in environment path  then open command prompt and type where java  If you get list of directories where java path specified  Other than the directory where you need the java file  delete the java files in all other directories  If you are reading 2nd pointer  then 1st pointer might have not helped  Type regedit in run dialog and under HKEY LOCAL MACHINE  go to softwares javasoft and rename the paths of the java installed directory    Let me know if above approaches solve the problem

If you have installer deployed Java on Windows and decided to bring some order to your JDKs with folders moving     All answers with java exe in Windows System32 are right but in more tough situation - there are no files  but error messages still happen  then remember about Windows Registry entries  look regedit exe    They store information about JRE folder in this registry key   win32  HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SOFTWARE JavaSoft Java Runtime Environment    win64  HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SOFTWARE Wow6432Node JavaSoft Java Runtime Environment

I had the same issue I just uninstalled Java and reinstalled again it worked fine after that   The problem is related to JRE so you can just reinstall JRE

User · Answer

You can not Uninstall Reinstall JRE if you are having this error   That s why because previous installation has copied 3 files namely Java exe  Javaw exe  javaws exe in the c  windows system32 folder  Simply go there and remove these files and download a fresh version of jre from oracle and install it  I will prefer JDK 1 6 update 45  Which is very stable

this should be an internal file of JRE and in general you shouldn t deal with it when you re running compiling java   Here you can find an explanation of what exactly this file is intended for  Bottom line  your Java installation is somehow corrupted  so as a first resort to resolve this issue  I suggest you to re-install jre   You should ensure that you re installing the right jre for your architecture   Hope  this helps

Don t think if this is a correct way    perhaps proper installation of Java is a permanent solution     but this is a trick      Delete the    java exe    file from    c  windows    and    c  windows system32   That should fix it

The program can be compiled but while running it leads to such an error      Could not open  C  Program Files Java jre6 lib amd64 jvm cfg   It indicates that the jvm cfg file is missing in Program files  Reasons may be file corruption or file may be deleted  Install JRE again in  Program Files  folder   Another case which happened with me is that I installed 32 bit jdk  amp  jre in my 64 bit system in Program Files x86  and my Program Files folder was empty  That was the reason for that error  So I installed 64 bit JRE in Program Files folder and it started to work  Note that it is not related to jdk version  Associated with only JRE problem

In case you get here and scroll this far down  the newer Oracle versions of Java x86 and probably also x64 are horribly broken   You may find that after removing all versions of Java  and even manually deleting all the versions you find in c  program files  and c  program files  x86   that you still can t properly run a fresh install of Java     I m here to tell you why  and how to fix it   Go to C  Program Files Common Files  and DELETE the Oracle directory   It has a version of Java underneath it inside a junction  symlink  that is sequestered away from all your other installs   Bastards   Now  also go to System Properties -  Advanced -  Environment Variables and edit the PATH under System Variables   Find the place where the Oracle folder is referenced  and delete it   Close all your windows down  reboot to be extra sure if you want   Install the JRE or JDK   Open a command prompt and type  java  and if it comes up  you re golden   If not  go back to the PATH variable and add  C  Program Files  x86  Java jdk1 8 0 221 bin  or whatever looks right for your machine   I hate Oracle
