Android Studio - No JVM Installation

found

up
vote I'm having issues trying to boot-up Android Studio
28
down When I try to launch it after installation I'm getting this error:
vote
favorit No JVM Installation found. Please install a 64 bit JDK.

My current system specification:
Operating System: Windows 8.0 64 bit version
JDK installed: JDK 1.8.0

What I have tried:

I have tried what was reported in the error, and also in most of the solutions to set the
JDK_HOME variable in environment variables to my JDK path (64 bit version) i.e.
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05
*I also have tried rebooting system, just in case to test if the
environment variable is not working without a restart

I have seen these solutions and tried but none of them works, so don't mark it as a
duplicate of any of these:
Android Studio installation on Windows 7 fails, no JDK found
With android studio no jvm found, JAVA_HOME has been set
Android Studio start fails on Windows 8 64bit
Android Studio does not launch after installation

Here is the cmd output for java version:

java

android jvm android-studio

Just for reference, my JAVA_HOME is identical to yours, so you can rule that out
as an issue as long as you're sure your JDK is 64-bit. Veselin Romic Jul 22 '14

I installed x64 bit version of JDK .. also as you can see my JDK path its not
inside Program Files (x86) folder so that clears this also .. Syed Qarib Jul

Just be on the safe side, please include the output of java -version in the
question body. ozbek Jul 23 '14 at 2:01
I think you cant run Android Studio with Java 8. I installed Studio on a Mac
1 Yosemite today and studio complained that it needed Java 6. Try installing java 7.
On windows I used to have a Java 7 installed. Varun Jul 26 '14 at 1:39
Well, that's my assumption too that it doesn't runs with java 8 .. but why and
where it is reported ? as I can't see any where this thing listed .. Syed Qarib Jul

down vote I had the same problem. I tried setting all kind of paths but nothing worked. So
accepted
I had to do some dirty fix. The only problem with this is that it opens a blank
+25
command line window.
I did the following to make it work.

goto the AndroidStudio installation folder.

goto bin folder and open studio.bat in text editor

add set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java2\jdk1.8.0//your java

path after the ECHO line.

goto Start -> All Programmes -> Android Studio ->

right click on Android Studio and click on properties.

You will see the Target something like <installation

path>android-studio\bin\studio64.exe

change it to <installation path>androidstudio\bin\studio.bat

Now you can access it by clicking it from the menu.

Note : I tried it with 8, It works.

That's correct, you have to create your own file named "studio.bat".

FYI: I was getting the same error but in my case I was pointing it to the
bin folder in my Java_Home path. Once I changed it to its parent folder
to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25, everything went smooth. Vincy

I reproduced your issue on my Windows 8.1 system :

1. Installed 64-bit JDK 1.8.0_11.
2. Installed latest Android Studio Bundle.
3. Went to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings ->
Environment Variables...
4. Added JDK_HOME pointing to my 64-bit JDK.
5. Launched studio64.exe

I got the same message you did. Thinking that it might be the environment
variable, I did the following :
1. Went to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings ->
Environment Variables...
2. Changed the name of JDK_HOME to JAVA_HOME.
3. Launched studio64.exe
It came up successfully !

Uninstall Java 8 and clean your JDK_HOME and

your JAVA_HOME enviromental paths. Then install
64bit JAVA 6 or 7 JDK of your preference.

As I'm trying to suggest, your JAVA enviromental paths are maybe dirty/duped
from previous installations and confusing Android Studio. Intellij Idea is nearly
JAVA 8 compatible, but you'll cannot exploit any JAVA 8 feature because Android
doesn't support it yet. Just double check to clean it all and install JAVA 7, it will
be fine. Martin Revert Jul 30 '14 at 4:24

According to Oracle's installation notes, you should download/install JDK for the
correct system. For your convenience, I have linked to it from the sentence above. If
you still encounter problems, leave a comment. I have written some quick code that
will tell you if your JVM is 64 or 32-bit, below. I'd suggest you run this class and
leave a comment as to its output:
public class CheckMemoryMode {

usually for all idea product there is a 'bat' launcher in bin directory. it clearly
states that JDK_HOME and JAVA_HOME both are accepted. Try to launch it and
see what will happend after. At least if there is a problem u will see it in console.
Then u can look into source of bat file. It is relly self describing. simar Jul 30

Make sure you set the path in the SYSTEM VARIABLES not in the USER VARIABLES
also.....name the variable name as JAVA_HOME and the address as C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\ be sure that you didn't place any semicolon.

You must just install jdk1.8.0 and then right click on my computer icon and then
select properties,then in left panel, select advanced system settings, then in dialog
bog select Environment Variables, then in that's dialog box,in section user variables
create new variable that's name must be JAVA_HOME and path is C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.8.0(in my pc) then sytem variable section, select PATH variable
and append it's end this path C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0\bin and then
select ok for all dialog box and after this steps run Android studio. And for test, run
up vote cmd in windows and run this command java -version if returned a java version
1 down and ... it is installed correctly.

Note: I get answer in windows 8.1 64 bit.

For me this turns out to be Environment Variables not being inherited.

Quick answer: reboot, than click on studio.bat, not studio.exe or studio64.exe

================ Details =================

"Right Click"-"Run as Administrator" works for me if: ** JDK_HOME or

JAVA_HOME was set. (PATH didn't need to be changed for me) ** I run
studio.bat, not studio.exe ** Note: By Default I am an administrator on a
Microsoft Account (That Microsoft part may be affecting things), and I
seldom reboot. I'm running Win8.1 64bit. I installed both JDKv1.8.0.0_25
32bit and 64 bit, and had JRE 32bit and 64 bit already installed (used by
other software).

I found there was a difference in clicking on studio.bat, studio.exe, and

running studio.bat from a command prompt. There is also a difference if I
rebooted or not.

The difference: The System Environment Variables aren't all there depending

on how I start the program.

To test:

In start menu drag a copy of "command prompt" to your desktop, then change
properties so "Start In" is location of studio.bat

copy studio.bat to studio_debug.bat (one we can mess with)

drag a shortcut of studio_debug.bat to desktop for convenience.

edit studio_debug.bat (right click --> edit)

== Change:
@echo off

== to
@echo on
echo Set===================
set
echo ======================
pause

This may also help in debugging studio.bat:

== change:
"%JAVA_EXE%" %ALL_JVM_ARGS% -cp "%CLASS_PATH%" %MAIN_CLASS_NAME% %*

== to
echo =================
echo Starting: "%JAVA_EXE%" %ALL_JVM_ARGS% -cp "%CLASS_PATH%"
%MAIN_CLASS_NAME% %*
pause
"%JAVA_EXE%" %ALL_JVM_ARGS% -cp "%CLASS_PATH%" %MAIN_CLASS_NAME% %*
echo =================

Now when you run studio.bat from command prompt versus double clicking
you may see difference in environment variables including JAVA_HOME and
PATH. If you do you have same problem as me.

The problem seems to depend on:

1. did you reboot since changing environment variables?
2. didn't seem to matter if I was local or microsoft account

3. may depend whether you are an administrator or other account type

4. whether you start using studio.bat, studio.exe, or studio64.exe

FYI: The actual successful startup command executed by studio.bat on my

system was as follows (includes studio64.exe):
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\bin\java.exe" "-Xms128m" "-Xmx750m"
"-XX:MaxPermSize=350m" "-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=96m" "-ea" "Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false" "-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true" "Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false" "-XX:+UseCodeCacheFlushing" "-XX:

-Didea.platform.prefix=AndroidStudio -cp "C:\androidstudio\bin\..\lib\bootstrap.jar;C:\androidstudio\bin\..\lib\extensions.jar;C:\android-studio\bin\..\lib\util.jar;C:\androidstudio\bin\..\lib\jdom.jar;C:\android-studio\bin\..\lib\log4j.jar;C:\androidstudio\bin\..\lib\trove4j.jar;C:\android-studio\bin\..\lib\jna.jar;C:\Program

Hope that helps someone else.

Just make sure that the installed version of both, Android Studio and JDK, are of
either 32-bit or 64-bit. If JDK is of 32-bit and Android Studio of 64-bit or viceverse, then it won't work though you set up JAVA_HOME.

Android Studio Works Perfectly fine with Java 1.8 or Java 8. I was also having
invalid JVM error. The reason was including ";" (semicolon) at the end of

For crying out loud this is so VERY EASY TO Fix!!
1. Go to : "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System" once there click on
"Advanced system settings" on the left hand side
2. The window that pops shows a box that says says Environment Variables!
Click it.
3. Click "add new" to add new variable.
4. Type JAVA_HOME in the first box and in the second box the address to, IE / in
my case C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25 save it. exit everything.
THATS IT!!

Enjoy Android Studio! Obviously for the above to work you have to install java first
or how else can you use it or point to it on your pc and all that. The above
instructions are amazingly mislead and complicated. For the record I am on widows
8.1, YES it works on latest windows and is ridiculously simple to fix.

down vote This is tested on my Windows 7 64Bit machine.
Quite strange... I had the same issue - WHILE IntelliJ Idea (including the Android
Plug-in) was working perfectly.
However, here is what I did to get Android Studio 1.0 working (no step missing
-> maybe it will help programming beginners).
Just set up a new environment variable by...
1. pressing Windows-Key and typing env... you'll see "Edit the system
environment variables". Click!
2. Now click "Environment Variables..."
3. Under System variables (NOT "User variables") add a new entry named
JAVA_HOME and set the value to your Java folder (like C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25)
4. apply and you are good to go.
PS: I don't know why some people writing about nuclear science when they want
to explain how to set the Java path..

if you jdk is 64 bit it should be installed in "C:\Program

It says that it should be a 64-bit JDK. I have a feeling that you installed (at a

Windows 7 and Vista is:

your JAVA_HOME variable to the following:

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.
