First of all, the path that you provided i.e. C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe doesn't appear to be correct. It should point to either JRE or JDK folder that you (probably) have in here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\bin

In there you should at least see the following files (and hence, the addition of this bin directory to your PATH variable in the env vars):

java.exe

javac.exe

javaw.exe

javap.exe

java.h.exe

java-rmi.exe

javadoc.exe

jarsigner.exe

jar.exe

If you don't see the files above, something is definitely wrong! Also, even if you were using JRE (not JDK), you should still have this bin folder present, where java.exe resides.
