运行sqldeveloper会引发错误“找不到javaw.exe”

Question

I installed sqldeveloper zip file in my system (windows 7)/. As soon as I clicked on sqldeveloper.exe, its throwing error "Windows cannot find C:/Program Files(x86)/Java/ jre1.8.0_31/bin/javaw.exe"

I dont understand why its giving error which has this path. In my system, I had installed JDK-1.7 64 bits. Previously I had installed JDK-1.8 32 bits. After removing JDK-1.8, I installed JDK-1.7 and changed the path variable also. Everything is working fine with java in my system. But SQLDeveloper is not being run. Please help.

Answer 1

You need to set your JAVA_HOME correctly.

In Windows :

Go to,

System --> Advance system settings --> Advanced --> Environment Variables

If you don't have JAVA_HOME , then add the variable and set the value

For example,

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_71

In *NIX :

export JAVA_HOME=/<your_location>
