Error: Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'\CurrentVersion'? [duplicate]

Answer 1

I ran into this issue after updating the Java JDK, but had not yet restarted my command prompt. After restarting the command prompt, everything worked fine. Presumably, because the PATH variable need to be reset after the JDK update.

Answer 2

Just Reinstall JDK 1.7 it will work.

Answer 3

I just uninstalled my Java8 update and tried again. It worked ok!

Answer 4

set PATH=c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\bin;%PATH%

this will work if you are working on command prompt

Answer 5

Go to 'c:/Windows/System32' and delete the java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe there. See at Registry Key '...' has value '1.7', but '1.6' is required. Java 1.7 is Installed and the Registry is Pointing to it

Answer 6

Adjust the sequence of your environment variable %path% to make sure jre 1.7 is the default one.
