I can't install/launch Android Studio for Windows 7 64 bit

Question

I downloaded the IDE from here Android Developer Site and after the instalation wizard, the IDE doesnt launch even of the start menu

Thanks!

Solution 1

First make sure jdk is installed to begin with. In my case it wasnt and I presumed that it was. Then doing the environment variable worked for me.

Try setting up a system variable

name: ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK

path: your jdk path e.g. 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdkXXXXX' (where XXXX is your the version installed in your computer)

Solution 2

Setting the ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK as system variable in Windows 7 - 64 bit operating system solved the issue.

Unlike what is in the post, I received a different version of the error, below:

Error launching Android Studio

No JVM installation found. Please install a 64-bit JDK. If you already have a JDK installed, define a JAVA_HOME variable in Computer > System Properties > System Settings > Environment Variables.

Setting ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK solves the above error as well.

Solution 3

go to control panel -> System -> Advance system settings -> Environment variable

then under system variable click new enter variable name JDK_HOME and variable value C:\programfiles\java\jdk, this path can be different on different computer. Then start android studio

Still not working for me.. I have the 64bit JDK. Any other suggestions?

did u make sure to use your actual path?

[Gishu]

you're the man. for 64 bit windows, you need to set this exact env var to the JDK Install folder, not JAVA_HOME or JDK_HOME. And don't try to help the computer by putting in those double quotes either..

I think you meant JAVA_HOME not "JDK"_HOME
