Android Studio installation on Windows 7 fails, no JDK found

Question

I downloaded Android Studio and attempted to launch the program.

This is running on Windows 7 64-bit with Java 1.7. During the installation my Java 1.7 is detected,

Answer 1

I downloaded the latest jdk version

JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\bin Set the PATH to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\bin

I restarted the STUDIO and it worked.

Answer 2

TRY TO INSTALL 32BIT JDK

if you have jdk installed and had set up the System Varibles such as JAVA_HOME or JDK_HOME and tried click back and then next ,you might have installed the 64bit JDK,just download the 32bit jdk and install it.

Answer 3

In my experience, I was unable (even after adding JDK_HOME) to launch Studio via either the shortcut or studio.exe itself. I had to first run bin/studio.bat (mentioned in the original question). After the first successful launch, I'm able to start it by the shortcut.

Answer 4

I had the same issue. I am having 64 bit windows 8. I downloaded the android studio which worked on 32 bit machine but not on my 64 bit.

The solution for me was pretty simple. I navigated to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\bin

there I saw 2 exe files studio.exe and studio64.exe. Normally in my start menu was pointing to studio64.exe which alwasys kept on giving me "The enviournmental variable JDK_HOME does not point to valid JVM". So then I clicked studio.exe and it worked :)

I hope this may help someone facing same problem like me

Answer 5

I've tried so many of the answers here but none of them works, so I decided to mix some of the answers here and I am successful!

Step 1: Go to the system properties by right-clicking on My Computer or by pressing windows button on typing This PC and right clicking on it and selecting Properties.

Step 2: Click the advanced system settings or Environment Variables

Step 3: Take note that there are 2 different variable. What you need to create is system variables not user variables, when you clicked new type the following

Variable name: JAVA_HOME

Variable value: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\ (Note: Please check if the path is right, sometimes it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_25)

Step 4: Run the android studio, no need to restart.

Note:

*C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\ depends entirely on the installation path of your JDK not JRE so don't be confused if you see something like the picture below. Just enter the location of your jdk, in my case it is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\.

*Do not include the bin folder when you enter the Variable value.

Edit: For Windows 8 and 10 Users: Try to run C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\studio.exe instead of C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\binstudio64.exe
