Trying to open Eclipse after a couple of months and get this error:
So I checked that folder to see if it existed, and it did:
I checked my PATH Was correct and it was also correct:
When this error first occurred I had 3 Java installations. JRE 7 Update 10, JDK 7 Update 7 32bit and 64 bit.
I uninstall ALL and restarted my machine. Eclipse then stated, as expected that I needed a JRE or a JDK. So I downloaded and installed the latest JDK and now I get this error, despite everything appearing to be correct.
Any ideas?
As requested in the comments.
Your eclipse version is searching for the x86 version of the jdk (You probably set this value when eclipse started). You should check if your eclipse is a 64 bit version if not, switch to a 64bits jvm.
the problem lies with compatibility issue of jdd 6 with eclipse.I tried jdk 7 and it worked perfectly.Here is a link for jdk 7 downloading
http://download.cnet.com/Java-Development-Kit-64-Bit/3000-2218_4-75317068.html
The problem is with the Eclipse version. I faced the exact same problem, I was using Eclipse helios. I switched to Eclipse Kepler 64 bit and it is now working perfectly on my system. Even if the eclipse is 64 bit, some versions may not be compatible with other softwares using the same Java path (Eg: Oracle BI Publisher). Make sure to use the version compatible with others.
FIX for :: jvm.dll file missing issue while you open eclipse
This issue appears because of (64 or 32 bit) version conflict/mismatch happens between
installed OS,
Java(JDK)version and
eclipse version.
I got this issue and fixed it in this way.by adding the below argument (64 bit Java(JDK) path) in eclipse.ini.
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144\bin
My environment,details below
Mine is windows-7 64bit OS,
Java(JDK) 64 bit (so path specified in eclipse.ini)
Eclipse 64 bit(never confuse the eclipse version as 32 bit by seeing the win32.x86, see the later _64) i.e I use eclipse version below.
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.500.v20170511-1520
You can see your eclipse version in eclipse.ini file.
Note:
I have another Eclipse (plugin tool) installed in my machine, which had the same issue, was expecting 32 bit Java(JDK), After I fixed the issue by setting the path for 32bit Java1.8 in environment variables, the primary eclipse stopped working.
So I set 64bit Java1.8 path in eclipse.ini.
Now both eclipse.exe and my plugintool eclipse working fine.
Thanks,

Here we fristly check the ur path. when ur path is correctly. Then after u will move the given location (their checking jvm.dll file will be presented or not).
that type problem came max to max 64-bit systems.
Here main focus on path. when u set path then after retsart the system.
This happend to me yesterday and fortunately I found this post.
I was working on eclipse and tried to compile a class using the command line in paralell. I noticed that the javac command wasn't on the Path environment variable so I added.
Afterwards, I closed Eclipse and when I tried restarting the IDE I found the "Failed to load JNI shared Library" error.
I opened back the environment variable dialog box and pointed the java bin path to a compatible version of java (Same bit version on both, eclipse and jdk).
Finally I was able to start eclipse again.

I have formatted my Mac due to some storage issues. Before this, I used Eclipse in a proper way. Now i have installed the JDK
Then, i have installed Java
Until now everything seems to be correct but when I open the Eclipse installer...
What can I do to fix this? I need to work with this the soon as possible.
Thanks
Eclipse on macOS will not start with Java 14 installed, this is being tracked in Eclipse bug 561273.
Installing Java 8 as well does not help. You need to remove the Java 14 install. You could use the Java 13.0.2 release instead.
Eclipse have determined that the root cause of this issue is a change in Java 14 which is described in this bug report JDK-8238225. The fix for this should be in Java 14.0.1
Update: Eclipse runs fine with Oracle Java 14.0.1 so the issue has been fixed.
I also asked this question which was closed, that's why I answer what I have found out: Eclipse will not install on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4, saying the above error message
Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine.
Deinstalling jdk and install an older one wouldn't help on its own because Eclipse is refusing to install in the first place (as mentioned above). What I have done:
i´ve installed an JDK with boost (you can try several, mine worked with Version 13)
I edited the installer:
Download the dmg file
convert the dmg-file with "hdiutil convert /dev/disk3s1 -format UDRW -o devimage"
mount the converted dmg-file with: "hdiutil attach -owners on devimage.dmg -shadow"
Edit the /Volumes/Eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/Info.plist: there is a section which is commented and there you can try the jdk version. You have to give the full path to the java executable, for example:
<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>
Then my eclipse started from the (already) mounted Eclipse image without complaining
I had the same issue myself a while back. In your Eclipsepedia it provided an example of what the eclipse.ini file looks like when your trying to specify a JVM. So just change the eclipse.ini file and then make sure that you have all of the correct documents in that path to match the example.
I have thoroughly researched this problem and the posted solutions have not worked for me.
I'm running Windows 8, and the most recent JAVA JDK (64 bit) and Android Studio versions.
[System specs: new XPS 13, core i5, 8GB RAM, SSD]
The exact error is:
Failed to load JVM DLL C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
If you already have a 64-bit JDK installed, define a JAVA_HOME variable in ... Environment Variables
-- Verification --
java -version
java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b15)..
-- Things I've tried --
Uninstall java and AS, reboot, install 64 bit java jdk, verify installation, reboot, install AS, set JAVA_HOME variable
YES, the viable is an Environment variable and not a User variable
I have added the /bin/ directory to the "path" environment variable
I have reversed the slashes in the environment variable paths as per one solution stated
Followed the uninstall/reinstall process stated above, but with a 32bit jdk instead (with the correct environment variable paths)
Done the whole process over (uninstalling, rebooting after installs, etc.) but with older JDKs
I have tried running studio.exe with 32 bit JDK installed, and studio64.exe with the 64 bit JDK installed
I feel like I've tried everything. I HAD to have screwed up somewhere along the line. Any idea?
Try running android studio as Administrator. That worked for me. Try installing a different version of Android Studio.
This worked for me...
Try running studio64.exe instead of studio.exe.
I had to install vcruntime140_1.dll via https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 to solve the this issue. I used process monitor to see that it was missing.
Tried everything nothing worked. Restarted my laptop, Android Studio works perfectly.
I installed Microsoft Visual C++ X86 or X64 from here and AS started up fine.
you said you have added /bin/ directory to the "path" environment variable, if you are putting C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\jre\bin .that is wrong it should be C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\jre\bin\client to path system variable and you put it as first item.
I checked my java installation path. I found jvm.dll is located at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\jre\bin\server please check yours.
see the screen shot.
I got it working. I uninstalled everything again. Reinstalled the 64 bit jdk, remade the environment variable, rebooted, reinstalled Android Studio and it still was not working.
I downloaded the 32 bit JDK just got giggles and installed it. I did not uninstall the 64 bit java... I pointed the environment variable to the 32 bit JDK directory and tried to launch Androd studio with the 32 bit .exe (not studio64.exe), and it worked.
I guess I'll have to live without 64 bit.
Thanks for the help, everyone.
I went to the Oracle site, downloaded and installed Java Platform (JDK) 7 on a Windows 7 64 bit virtual machine. I added the path to the c:\program files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin to the path environment variable. I even deleted c:\windows\system32\Java.exe as recommended by someone. I was essentially following this: "Android Create" call fails in windows 7 - missing JDK
When I install the ADT it gives me the error JDK could not be found. Download the latest JDK. Why?
Thanks.
this is caused because the Android DK finds java in the c:\windows\system32\ folder before it finds the JDK one.
To resolve this edit your PATH environment variable and put the JDK path before the c:\windows\system32\ path.
Just in the ADT installer , press back when the installer promite for No JDK Found then press next, the installer will find the JDK, for sure this is a common bug
Does that happen when you open eclipse?
I'm thinking in two possible problems. Here is one possible solution: Eclipse - no Java (JRE) / (JDK) ... no virtual machine
If you already got this, go to Window -> Android SDK and AVD preferences
The first "preference" should ask you your Android SDK folder. you need to set this correctly.
Your JDK installation is not proper.
Reinstall JDK. It should be working fine.
I also had this problem once. I have done the above to resolve this issue.
You should not delete C:\Windows\System32 folder for this issue, It might lead to OS problems.
adil's answer is the one which finally worked for me (although I had added the jdk\bin to the path and created\set the JAVA_HOME to the same); moving the jdk\din directory before the win\sys32 in the PATH finally allowed me to install the android sdk on win7/64bit
I get this error when I try to do anything with Java in command prompt:
Error opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment.3'
Error: could not find Java.dll
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment
I did screw around with deleting Java directories and registry a few days ago. I restarted computer and java was still working fine, then i restarted it again today and now I get this error. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that doesn't seem to work. I have the latest java JRE installed and the path set in the environment variables. Anyone have any clue how to fix this?
Make sure you remove any java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe from your Windows\System32 folder and if you have an x64 system (Win 7 64 bits) also do the same under Windows\SysWOW64.
If you can't find them at these locations, try deleting them from C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath.
You will find a folder named "Oracle" on ProgramData folder in your windows installed drive. Remove the folder. Hope it will work.
In my case my install drive is C and my path is C:\ProgramData\Oracle
I had a similar problem. I had installed JDK7 update 1 but couldn't use it (probably because I found a JRE6 that I deleted after installing JDK7). Uninstalling JDK7 was impossible. The solution was to add the JRE registry entries by hand.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment]
"CurrentVersion"="1.7"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.7]
"JavaHome"="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7"
"RuntimeLib"="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\client\\jvm.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.7.0_01]
"JavaHome"="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7"
"RuntimeLib"="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\client\\jvm.dll"
You'll have to adjust the above to your own directories and version.
If this doesn't help, there's still JavaRa https://singularlabs.com/software/javara/ .
Delete these 3 files present in your local at path C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
java.exe
javaw.exe
javaws.exe
This solved the issue for me :)
Make sure you remove any java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe from your system.
if you have an x32 system (Win XP 32 bits) Windows\System32 folder
if you have an x64 system (Win 7 64 bits) also do the same under Windows\SysWOW64 folder
On Windows 10 I had just installed the JDK, and got these errors when checking the version. I had to delete all executable files starting with java (i.e. java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe) from C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath. And then, once deleted, re-run the JDK installer, restart my terminal program and java -v works.
There are 3 locations to check
Registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.8.0_xxx\JavaHome
Java Control Panel- Java tab - View - Path
Environment Variables - Path ($env:Path)
All 3 have to align (if you have multiple entires just remove the wrong ones) - thats all
I had the same:
Error opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment
Clearing Windows\SysWOW64 doesn't help for Win7
In my case it installing JDK8 offline helped (from link)
I would have tagged this as a comment but cant (dont have the rep) just wanted to thank Tilman. I was trying to get PDFsam (PDF Split and Merge) to work to no avail.
At launch it would produce an error stating that it could not find JRE 1.6.0. I Have both 32 and 64 bit versions and they check out fine at the java website in their respective browsers.
Tried uninstalling/reinstalling and rebooting repeatedly as well as using JavaRa. No such luck, still no go.
I looked in the registry after reading this post and there was no ...\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\ key so I added each with their respective string values pointing to my x86 version (PDFsam is a 32bit program). This got past the first problem but an error popped up about amd64 libraries suggesting the machine wanted to run the 64bit version. So I changed the paths to the 64bit JRE and PDFsam now works.
FYI - I got here by searching for Java registry keys after I was unable to launch javaw.exe from command prompt (even after adding the requisite paths to system path), making the aforementioned changes solved this as well.
I got this kind of error whe nI had JDK 1.7 before and I installed JAVA JDK 1.8 and pointed my JAVA_HOME and PATH variables to JAVA 1.8 version. When I try to find the java version I got this error. I restarted my machine, and it works . It seems to be we have to restart the machine after modifying the environment variables.
In case a virus scanner (like McAfee) is running, try:
Disable virus scanner
Uninstall Java (via Control Panel / Programs and Features)
Reinstall Java (from Java.com)
Re-enable virus scanner
Uninstall Java (via Control Panel / Programs and Features)
Install Java JRE 7 --> OFFLINE <--
Configure JAVA_HOME and Path = %JAVA_HOME%/bin;%PATH%
I have Windows 7. I got the same problem after installing: PyCharm.
I wasn't satisfied with PyCharm, so I decided to use Eclipse instead. This is when I discovered that things went wrong with my JDK. I used to have Java.9.x. So I decided to uninstall it and get the newer version (at my time it was Java.11.x. The same problem persisted.
I followed most of the steps mentioned above in the post like:
- Removing all java*.exe files,
- removing Java related entries from the registry.
- Cleaning-up all unnecessary Java folders. However nothing helped. I still had something in the system referring to a broken Java pathname.
What really brought remedy is the following:
- Uninstalled what ever version of JDK I had at the moment.
- Re-Installed the last JDK version I had before the problem took place
- Properly uninstall that version.
- Install whatever latest version of SDK. ..
That's it .. at this point everything returned to normal ... Except that Java.11.xx did not fix the system path automatically, I had to do it manually.
I followed multiple answers from above and got my issue resolved.
Issue:
Javac was on 13 from jdk but java was using 1.8 from jre so java threw incompatible runtime error
Fix:
Under Control Panel -> Programs: I uninstalled 1.8 (named Java 8 runtime) and DID NOT touch the other one (named Java (TM) SE Development Kit 13)
Deleted java.exe, javac.exe and javawc.exe files from:
a. C:\Windows\system32
b. C:\Windows\SysWOW64
c. C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
The environment variable JDK_HOME was pointing to 13 but JAVA_HOME was pointing to 1.8 so i pointed JAVA_HOME to also use 13 which was C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-13.0.1
There was a Path variable under both User variables and system variables sections.
For the one in user variables section, i added the string %JDK_HOME% - which translated automatically to the physical path.
For the one under system variables, I deleted the path C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath and added C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-13.0.1\bin
All good now! Thanks to all the people who answered, you rock!
Make sure to delete java references from system32, SysWOW64, and delete javapath from ProgramData\Oracle\Java. It solves the issue
If you have "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath" in your PATH, just make sure that the java bin path entries are present before this entry in your PATH.
I was facing the exact same issue, and I just moved the java jdk/jre bin path entries up in the list, above the oracle entry and it resolved my issue.
I'm running Windows Vista x64, and I have JDK 1.6.0_21 (x64 version, I believe) installed. I recently downloaded Eclipse 3.5.2 because I want to do some Android development (apparently you can't use 3.6 yet due to bugs...), but I keep running into the same error message whenever I try to start Eclipse:
http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/8282/42786776.jpg
Does anyone know why this is happening? Do I need a 32-bit version of Java or Java 5 or something? If so, how would I specify that Eclipse uses a different version of Java (preferably I'd like to specify it in the eclipse.ini file and not mess with my environment variables).
You need to use a 32 bit VM since you are using a 32 bit eclipse. For 3.5, 64 bit windows builds are hard to find, though I think they do exist.
If your eclipse were a 64 bit version, the launcher would be org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64, but yours is org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86 without the _x64. It is listed around the middle of the error message.
To change the VM, simply add a -vm parameter to your eclipse.ini. I usually add mine as first entry, though I'm not sure that's important. It should look like this:
-vm
C:\path\to\java\bin\javaw.exe
