With android studio no jvm found, JAVA_HOME has been set

Question

I have a JAVA_HOME variable set to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\ And the path to the jdk is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_45

However when I try to start android studio I get the error:

No JVM installation found. Please install a 64 bit JDK. If you already have a JDK installed define a JAVA_HOME variable in Computer > System Properties > System Settings > Environment Variables.

Is this a system or a user environment variable. That might make a difference? (Not sure) – Sansen

It is an environment variable, have tried both, doesn't appear to make a difference – Lacunar

if you jdk is 64 bit it should be installed in "C:\Program Files\Java". "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java" is for 32 bits installs. – Ausgleich

Can't I just use JDK 32 bits for my 64 bits PC? – Smothers

For Windows 7 all Android Studio versions since 2022 don't work with symptoms like Java SDK, JAVA_HOME, etc Don't waste the time - downgrade the version to Android Studio 4.0. – Fidge

Answer 1

It says that it should be a 64-bit JDK. I have a feeling that you installed (at a previous time) a 32-bit version of Java. The path for all 32-bit applications in Windows 7 and Vista is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\

You were setting the JAVA_HOME variable to the 32-bit version of Java. Set your JAVA_HOME variable to the following:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45

If that does not work, check that the JDK version is 1.7.0_45. If not, change the JAVA_HOME variable to (with JAVAVERSION as the Java version number:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdkJAVAVERSION

Here is the tutorial :- http://javatechig.com/android/installing-android-studio and http://codearetoy.wordpress.com/2010/12/23/jdk-not-found-on-installing-android-sdk/

Adding a system variable JDK_HOME with value c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\ worked for me. The latest Java release can be downloaded here. Additionally, make sure the variable JAVA_HOME is also set with the above location.

Please note that the above location is my java location. Please post your location in the path

I just had to add extra "\" at the end of jdk version. Before it was "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79" changed it to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\". How stupid that could be. :( – Quarrier

Answer 3

Though, the question is asked long back, I see this same issue recently after installing Android Studio 2.1.0v, and JDK 7.80 on my PC Windows 10, 32 bit OS. I got this error.

No JVM installation found. Please install a 32 bit JDK. If you already have a JDK installed define a JAVA_HOME variable in Computer > System Properties > System Settings > Environment Variables.

I tried different ways to fix this nothing worked. But As per System Requirements in this Android developer website link.

Its solved after installing JDK 8(jdk-8u101-windows-i586.exe) JDK download site link.

Hope it helps somebody.

I was running JDK-12.0.1 and nothing I did worked until I downloaded and installed the JDK8 but mine was a 64 bit version, and Android Studio worked thereon – Telescopic

Answer 4

For me the case was completely different. I had created a studio64.exe.vmoptions file in C:\Users\YourUserName\.AndroidStudio3.4\config. In that folder, I had a typo of extra spaces. Due to that I was getting the same error.

I replaced the studio64.exe.vmoptions with the following code.

# custom Android Studio VM options, see https://developer.android.com/studio/intro/studio-config.html

-server
-Xms1G
-Xmx8G
# I have 8GB RAM so it is 8G. Replace it with your RAM size.

yes, same happened with me, I just deleted vmoptions file and restarted studio... – Landpoor

Answer 5

When you set to install it "for all users" (not for the current user only), you won't need to route Android Studio for the JAVA_HOME. Of course, have JDK installed.

Answer 6

Just delete the folder highlighted below. Depending on your Android Studio version, mine is 3.5 and reopen Android studio.
