Android Studio - No JVM Installation found

Question

I'm having issues trying to boot-up Android Studio

When I try to launch it after installation I'm getting this error:

No JVM Installation found. Please install a 64 bit JDK.

---

My current system specification:

Operating System: Windows 8.0 64 bit version
JDK installed: JDK 1.8.0

---

What I have tried:

I have tried what was reported in the error, and also in most of the solutions to set the JDK_HOME variable in environment variables to my JDK path (64 bit version) i.e. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05

*I also have tried rebooting system, just in case to test if the environment variable is not working without a restart

I have seen these solutions and tried but none of them works, so don't mark it as a duplicate of any of these:
Android Studio installation on Windows 7 fails, no JDK found
With android studio no jvm found, JAVA_HOME has been set
Android Studio start fails on Windows 8 64bit
Android Studio does not launch after installation

Here is the cmd output for java version:

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I tried setting all kind of paths but nothing worked. So I had to do some dirty fix. The only problem with this is that it opens a blank command line window.

I did the following to make it work.

• goto the AndroidStudio installation folder.
• goto bin folder and open studio.bat in text editor
• add set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java2\jdk1.8.0//your java path after the ECHO line.
• goto Start -> All Programmes -> Android Studio ->
• right click on Android Studio and click on properties.
• You will see the Target something like <installation path>android-studio\bin\studio64.exe
• change it to <installation path>android-studio\bin\studio.bat

Now you can access it by clicking it from the menu.

Note : I tried it with 8, It works.
