With android studio no jvm found, JAVA_HOME has been set

Question

I have a JAVA_HOME variable set to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\ And the path to the jdk is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_45

However when I try to start android studio I get the error:

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.

It says that it should be a 64-bit JDK. I have a feeling that you installed (at a previous time) a 32-bit version of Java. The path for all 32-bit applications in Windows 7 and Vista is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\

You were setting the JAVA_HOME variable to the 32-bit version of Java. Set your JAVA_HOME variable to the following:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45

If that does not work, check that the JDK version is 1.7.0_45. If not, change the JAVA_HOME variable to (with JAVAVERSION as the Java version number:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdkJAVAVERSION

Here is the tutorial :- http://javatechig.com/android/installing-android-studio and http://codearetoy.wordpress.com/2010/12/23/jdk-not-found-on-installing-android-sdk/

Adding a system variable JDK_HOME with value c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\ worked for me. The latest Java release can be downloaded here. Additionally, make sure the variable JAVA_HOME is also set with the above location.

Please note that the above location is my java location. Please post your location in the path

Though, the question is asked long back, I see this same issue recently after installing Android Studio 2.1.0v, and JDK 7.80 on my PC Windows 10, 32 bit OS. I got this error.

No JVM installation found. Please install a 32 bit JDK. If you already have a JDK installed define a JAVA_HOME variable in Computer > System Properties > System Settings > Environment Variables.

I tried different ways to fix this nothing worked. But As per System Requirements in this Android developer website link.

Its solved after installing JDK 8(jdk-8u101-windows-i586.exe) JDK download site link.

Hope it helps somebody.

For me the case was completely different. I had created a studio64.exe.vmoptions file in C:\Users\YourUserName\.AndroidStudio3.4\config. In that folder, I had a typo of extra spaces. Due to that I was getting the same error.

I replaced the studio64.exe.vmoptions with the following code.

# custom Android Studio VM options, see https://developer.android.com/studio/intro/studio-config.html

-server
-Xms1G
-Xmx8G
# I have 8GB RAM so it is 8G. Replace it with your RAM size.
-XX:MaxPermSize=1G
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=512m
-XX:+UseCompressedOops
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50

Just delete the folder highlighted below. Depending on your Android Studio version, mine is 3.5 and reopen Android studio.

Is this a system or a user environment variable. That might make a difference? (Not sure)

[user2853108]

It is an environment variable, have tried both, doesn't appear to make a difference

if you jdk is 64 bit it should be installed in "C:\Program Files\Java". "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java" is for 32 bits installs.

[Putri Dewi Purnamasari]

Can't I just use JDK 32 bits for my 64 bits PC?

For Windows 7 all Android Studio versions since 2022 don't work with symptoms like Java SDK, JAVA_HOME, etc Don't waste the time - downgrade the version to Android Studio 4.0.

I just had to add extra "\" at the end of jdk version. Before it was "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79" changed it to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\". How stupid that could be. :(

helpless for me

[kolexinfos]

I was running JDK-12.0.1 and nothing I did worked until I downloaded and installed the JDK8 but mine was a 64 bit version, and Android Studio worked thereon

[Paramjit Singh Rana]

yes, same happened with me, I just deleted vmoptions file and restarted studio...
