I ran into this issue after updating the Java JDK  but had not yet restarted my command prompt   After restarting the command prompt  everything worked fine  Presumably  because the PATH variable need to be reset after the JDK update

On my Windows 7 machine  it was solved by doing the following    In the START menu type  regedit  to open the Registry  be careful doing this  Go to  HKEY LOCAL MACHINE  on the left-hand side registry explorer tree menu Click  SOFTWARE  within the  HKEY LOCAL MACHINE  registries Click  JavaSoft  within the  SOFTWARE  registries Click  Java Runtime Environment  within the  JavaSoft  list of registries Highlight  CurrentVersion   should see it in the main registry key explorer window on the right  Change version to  1 7    That is all    should work  Short of that  if you ve already tried some other guides and or messed up your registries  the most certain way to deal with the problem is to delete all previous versions of Java  using  Programs and Features  uninstall process  and then re-install just the version you want to work with  I d suggest the distribution site at  http   java com  as it usually has the most stable version   Or look for a specific version you need from Oracle s site  http   www oracle com technetwork java javase downloads
