First of all, please check your STS path. Remove if there is any special character such as # or etc in your path. After verify this, please go for any of the above solutions ;)

Check that you are using correct java version for your OS architecture, 32 or 64 bits

Answer 3

By Removing following java path from environment variables path is fixed the issue.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath

Have another jdk in path.

Answer 4

I removed C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath from the PATH environment variable. It worked for me then. So basically it's a path variable issue.

Answer 5

Just install 32-bit JRE (if you have 64 bit already installed) and point -vm to this 32-bit JRE as mentioned above.

Answer 6

You just need to reinstall JDK(same or latest version) and STS(not always required).
