Tizen-sdk-for-wearable-setup Installation issue because of JAVA HOME

Question

System Configuration:

OS - Windows 8
System type - 64-bit Operating System , x64-based processor

I have installed java-8 and set JAVA_HOME as

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0

I am getting error as below image while Tizen-sdk-for-wearable-setup Installation.

error - Cannot execute Java even if it was installed. Check environment variable or Java version(over 1.6) please.

I tried installing after JDK 7 both 32 bit and 64 bit and setting JAVA_HOME - Program Files path and Program Files (x86) path both also it didn't worked.

I have a another system in which the Issue didn't occurred.

System Configuration :

OS - Windows 7 Enterprise
System Type - 32 bit operating system.

Installed Java - C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45

JAVA_HOME set as - C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.6.0_45

Now there may be many chances why installation is not getting in my win-8 64 bit.

1. 64 bit JAVA support is not available.
2. I am not sure about ~ symbol in JAVA_HOME path but it may be to escape space between Program Files and I have not set java home using this symbol.
3. In win-8 64 bit I have 2 folders. Program Files and Program Files (x86) , I am not sure whether to use ~ or " " to set JAVA_HOME and for 32 bit java or 64 bit java installed.
4. May be only java 1.6 is supported right now.

I searched and found similar issues :

1. I find this link but not able to get why its advised to set the system environment Path Variable to 'c:\windows\system32'.
2. In this link its advised to use InstallManager.jar via cmd.exe.

I can try each possible assumption till it works but hoping to find a solution with proper reason why I am getting this error.

If any one knows how should I work this out please help.

Answer 1

At last solve the Issue.

Installed jdk1.7.0_51 (I think currently JAVA 8 is not supported).

Set the JAVA_HOME as C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_51 (thanks to @Michael comment).

Answer 2

This link: https://answers.madewithmarmalade.com/questions/16878/cant-install-tizen-sdk-on-windows-8-64-bit.html solved for me the problem of Tizen SDK installation:

Change directory to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\tizensdk_TimeStampOfInstallationInvocation

java -jar InstallManager.jar

My system: Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Java's version installed (64 bit):

g:>echo %JAVA_HOME%

c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05

g:>echo %CLASSPATH%

c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\jre\lib

Added to PATH: c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\bin\

(Tizen IDE and "Hello World" example run just fine.)

Answer 3

I encountered the same problem and finally I realised that my version of Tizen installer is 64bit but I installed 32bit java in my computer. Then I downloaded 32bit Tizen installer and everything was fine.

Answer 4

I encountered the same problem, and it was solved by placing the Java path in the beginning of the system path ! weird.. but worked :)

Answer 5

You must include, depending on whether you downloaded the x86 or x64 Tizen installer, C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin or C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin in the PATH environment system variable. You can't use java 8. See this oracle page for instructions on setting environment variables. I have read some others mention that they put the entry at the very beginning of the PATH variable. I think this would only matter if you also had an entry for java 8, but better safe than sorry.
