I downloaded Oracle 11g r2 and am trying to launch SQL Developer for the first time. However, it is asking for a JDK path. When I first tried a java.exe that I already had installed on my PC, SQL Developer said that it was not a JDK, so I tried the following steps, which have not yet resolved the problem.
1.) I went to the oracle jdk download page and explicitly downloaded jdk-8u-74-windows-x64,exe shown below
2.) I then let the installer install the program to C:\ProgramFiles\Java\jdk1.8_74\
3.) I next pointed the Oracle SQL Developer dialog box to the path of the java.exe in this new directory.
But Oracle SQL Developer just replaces the dialog box with a new empty dialog box. This repeats every time that I try.
Why can't Oracle SQL Developer accept this JDK? What specific steps need to be taken to get Oracle SQL Developer to the point where it understands that it has a JDK and thus moves further into the launch process?

I would embed the url of the image into this view, but I need at least 10 reputation points to do that. So please click the link to view the screen shot.
Continuing Research:
I repeated the steps above with JDK 6, Build 45, but am getting the same failed results.
I would ask this in chat, but I need at least 20 reputation points to talk in a chat room.
If you are installing on 64-bit windows, get the 64-bit SQL Dev. It has the java built in, and so does not require the extra JDK.
It's possible you had a JRE, and not a JDK. Also, when it prompts for a path, don't select the Java.exe, instead you want the 'Java Home', for example:
C:\Program Files\Java\JDK1.8.0_60
Some more details here
Or, if you're on a Mac.
Or, if your 'java' moves on you - common on Mac's after an OS upgrade.

Hi,
java SE runtime Env 8 - 111
I get screen like that when I'm trying install or remove old versions of Java
Was trying to fix that in many ways:
it is said that is because of AntiAliasing function of Nvidia card - Not true, after uninstaling display drivers, and using to delete all nvidia packages
http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
there is no effects even on clean primary windows display driver
rebuilding services, WMI, permissions to registry keys, default permissions to services, and system files by
http://www.tweaking.com/
several times,
trying to install by internet setup, full package, 32bit, 64bit
system checked by several tools for viruses, malware, spyware, etc..
cleaning temp folders (system and user), browsers cache,
cleaning registry keys by CCleaner.
yes, windows update works like a charm.... (like no windows update.. ; -)
I have also linux (Fedora) system for programing, but it is for other purpose. So please don't make a comments in style "instal linux"...
I still need Windows 7 machine for php 5 & 7 MySQL/Postgres/M$ SQL and Android apps enviroment...
Solution for this issue is

https://www.computerbase.de/downloads/systemtools/all-in-one-runtimes/?download
It removes all M$ Visual C++ Redist (a really big mess always) and replace them with curent fresh versions.
You can't keep them fresh just by M$ Windows update.
After that your Java Runtime Enviroment - will work.
You can get around the Java 8 install by installing silently.
An older Java 8u11 works to install but any newer versions won't install you will see a blank screen when trying to install.
To silently install:
Download Java 8 to your C:\ then run Navigate to the C:\ via cmd prompt
Enter the following command (using the name of the file you downloaded): jre-8u271-windows-i586.exe /s
Press Enter
I tried to download Java on my laptop (which has windows 10) but i keep getting a 1603 error. My computer used to have windows 8.1 and it did not work back then either
I appreciate any advice to solve or work around this problem
I have had this problem. I was able to fix it thanks to a co-worker. The problem started happening after I installed HP Unified Functional Testing (UFT, aka QTP). Installing this product changes the Windows environment variables used by Java. He told me the following: "So change the names of JAVA_OPTIONS, IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS, JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS to something else (both in system and user variables) and delete any Java folder(in Program Files (x86) or Program Files) which gets installed despite the error. Restart the system and then try installing Java."
Actually, all I did was rename the environment variables and run the installer. This worked.
My answer is not related to win 10, but might help someone who is having similar problem in windows 7 machine and not able to install jre 32 bit version.
the work around to this is once you downloaded the jre, copy the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_121\bin\javaw.exe" and paste it under java runtime environment settings which is found -Java Control panel>java>view
I think you downloaded the wrong version. If your laptop support x64 bit software you should download Java 1.8 x64 version.
Here is the link.

I had this problem for a month now. I tried everything on my windows 8, but I couldn't get the latest java on it. When I tried to install java on an empty computer, the 64 bit version did not go through (error 1603) and I realized the problem didn't come from an old java install and I install 32 bit. it worked on the new computer with windows 7 and on my computer running 8.1.
note: I had deleted all the java versions before going through with it.
To fix java 1603 error you have to follow few simple steps.
First of all remove all old java version.
Then remove some windows update file which might be reason of this
error. Like KB2918614 update.
After that download and Install latest version of java and activate
java in browser. Now everything will be fine you can test the java
version on java website...

I encountered this error on Windows 8.1 and when I checked with Oracle web site, they said that is is not yet resolved, and under investigation. They also showed a link for off-line installation as an alternative arrangement. However, upon investigation of my system, i found out that the available space in C drive was only about 20 MB or so. I cleared my system and provided enough space. When I tried with the extra space, I didn't encounter any error. May be, you could try with a better free space...
First you should close the browser because if any webpage will use Java, it will cause conflict. Then do custom installation, i.e. install in some other folder other than default folder and point environment variable to newly installed Java location. It will resolve your issue.
VisualVm hangs when started from either the downloaded visualvm.dmg or the zip. It gets to the Visual VM Calibration dialog and then stops. There are no messages in the dialog box nor does clicking the OK button do anything.
I can't find any log in either my home or the extracted zip folder when I run either.
From the command line I get
./visualvm
Unable to find any JVMs matching version "1.7.0_10+".
Found jdkhome=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
Any advice on how to diagnose the problem would be greatly appreciated.
It's telling you that you don't have a JDK/JRE with a version of 7 or higher. If you didn't install one, then it won't be there - download it from the oracle website, or install the Open JDK if you require version 7 or higher.
You should also be able to see error messages in the OS X console (but I doubt you'll get more detailed error messages than you already received)
Oracle link to install JRE 7
I've had the same issue, just resize the screen and you'll see the "I agree" button.
Or, add the "--laf Metal" arg to the startup of the application.
Hope it works for you, too!
So, I've discovered that some of my Java web apps have stopped functioning after applying the java update released by Apple on October 16th, 2012.
The tech notes indicate that Apple has removed the web app plug-in from OS X and that you need to download it from Oracle directly.
The problem with this is that Oracle only offers a 7x version of the plug-in and my apps require a 6x version, which I haven't been able to find.
So, can anybody point me to where I could find a copy of JavaAppletPlugin.plugin that I believe existed in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ prior to being destroyed?
And no, there is no chance that the vendor will be providing an updated version of the software which is compatible with Java 7 anytime soon.
Thanks All.
Same problem, google chrome for mac is 32-bit and do not support Java 7.
Try this:
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Java/Support/CoreDeploy.bundle/Contents/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
It took a while to find this, but the solution to this issue can be found via this helpdesk article from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559
Here something important to note. I've found that even after following these steps I still have problems when attempting to open a .jnlp file from within the Mac OSX user interface. To successfully load a java web start program, you'll probably have to switch to the terminal then execute the following code (username$ is just the prompt for terminal newbies):
username$ javaws /path/to/file.jnlp
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Have you tried http://sourceforge.net/projects/javaplugin/
You could also try manually copying the old version of the plugin package over the new one.
For some reason my firefox browser stopped detecting java and now I can't run anything with java on it because it says that it's not installed, so I went to add/remove programs and tried to uninstall java but it just won't get removed.
http://rcupload.com/images/IDSnu.png
So when I try to uninstall it (Java(TM) 7 Update 5) a little window appears with a progress bar, after it completes it disappears but Java is still there..
this is the window that appears:
http://rcupload.com/images/HLUwZ.png
Here's what I tried to do:
1) Use CCleaner to uninstall it:
- I choose the program, press uninstall and it disappears, but when I refresh the list it will still be there. I also tried using the "remove entry" button in CCleaner and i just get a message saying "cannot delete msi installer'.
2) I tried using JavaRA:
- I ran it as administrator, clicked "remove older versions", and I got the message that Java JDK 1.7 was uninstalled and all the files, but now I see that there is no folder for it at "C:\program files (x86)\Java\" (there was one inside before, called something like jre-7) and the icon in the installed programs appears like a white box instead of looking the like the java logo.
3) I tried downloading java and installing it:
- I run it, it downloads and it gets to a screen where it asks me if I want to install a toolbar, I click next and I get this message:
http://rcupload.com/images/xiCIu.png
I also tried changing the destination folder. same result.

Resumed: I need to get rid of Java(TM) 7 Update 5 but the uninstaller seems not to work and files are missing.
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks.
I was having the same exact problem, and solved it using Microsoft Fix it tool, here:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall
Finally, a Microsoft troubleshooter that actually works !
I haven't experienced this before my self. Here's my guess. One may say this is a 'harsh' way to remove and cause system in-stability. But I don't see any other way with the given details.
Please don't continue if you don't understand every step. This is almost what the un-installer does behind the scenes. You will have to do them manually.
First Un-install Firefox.
It doesn't detect the Java version installed for some reason where the Java installer does. you'll have to re-install it later when everything is fine.
Delete (i mean, backup) your JRE folder in 'Program Files'
Open regedit, and find the key for Java Runtime under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete (export it first, just in case) the key. (You'll have to go through each key and see the DisplayName for them.)
This will remove the entry in Add/Remove programs and Windows will think there's no Java.
Remove Java path from your System's Environment variables.
This will cause some apps that check for Java to decide that there's no Java installed.
Run the un installer again (if it's still visible in Add/Remove Programs).
If Windows still has the reference to the uninstaller, this will cause it to update it self and remove any references because there's no registry entry, and no program files.
Reboot the machine.
This will flush any waiting changes, unregister stuff .etc.
Try installing Java again. (Installer should not detect that there's Java installed, because there's no Environment variables set, and no registry entries.)
Please try this at your own risk. This may cause issues in your system.
You may get a better answer if posted on superuser site.
Let us know the results.
