Question

I have the same issues happening on this post below tcnative-1.dll Can't load AMD 64-bit .dll on a IA 32-bit platform except this is the reverse while running Tomcat-7.0.47 below are my details and logs.I have tried to follow all posted above with no luck...please help me!

As well I have the 64 bit JRE downloaded, and double-checked my java version

C:\Users\franklu>java -version java version "1.7.0_55" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_55-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.55-b03, mixed mode)

Double checked my system variables

JAVA_HOME points to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_55 JRE_HOME points to C:\Program Files\Java\jre7

I have double checked the java installed under Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features

i have double checked Java 7 update 55(64-bit) java SE Development Kit 7 Update 55(64-bit)

I have double checked properties--->java compiler and its pointing to JavaSE-1.7

Below is my logs....this is happening when trying to start Tomcat-7.0.47.Please help....i have tried to google for almost 3hrs, my head is about to explode or point me to any material...i am ready to go extra mile whatever it takes...

Solution

I encountered the same issue. Problem was that I had it using 64-bit java. Changing JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME to point to 32-bit java fixed the problem
