Installing Android Studio, does not point to a valid JVM installation error

Question

I just downloaded the Android Studio. While trying to run it, I had to modify the environment variable and add

JAVA_HOME

and

<

Answer 1

I am using 64-bit Windows. After battling with various settings I followed these steps:

• Thru Add/Remove Programs I uninstalled all Java(s)
• Removed JAVA_HOME variable from environment
• Removed Java folder reference from PATH environment variable
• Downloaded and installed 64-bit Java SDK
• Added JAVA_HOME variable in system variables and assigned it the value C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31

In the last step please note that its the parent Folder and not the \bin sub-folder. It started working.
