Android Studio installation on Windows 7 fails, no JDK found

Question

I downloaded Android Studio and attempted to launch the program.

This is running on Windows 7 64-bit with Java 1.7. During the installation, my Java 1.7 is detected, and the rest of the installation goes through just fine. However, when attempting to launch the application from the desktop icon, nothing happens. Looking at the task manager, a new process from the CMD is loaded. This is because it's attempting to run the batch file studio.bat.

When I execute via CMD, I get the following error:

ERROR: cannot start Android Studio. No JDK found. Please validate
either ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK or JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME points to valid
JDK installation. ECHO is off. Press any key to continue . . .

I've attempted to open the idea properties file to see if there was something I could configure for this ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK or something like that. However, I found nothing. I hope some of you can let me know if you were able to install this or if you are having problems as well.

I'm sharing that I have exactly the same issues. Looking for a solution. Updating the JDK x86 and x64 did not work — Ruben Weerts, May 15 '13 at 20:18
@RubenWeerts Thanks for the comment, i didnt know if i happen to be the one and only person. What have you tried? — Jaison Brooks, May 15 '13 at 20:19
You are not alone. It happned to me as well :( I have jdk 1.7 install with path JAVA_HOME still no luck. — Jay Mayu, May 15 '13 at 20:44

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.

I can confirm that `Android Studio` works with JDK 1.7 as I have just verified it. And it's probably a good thing to set the system environment variable JDK_HOME (if not JAVA_HOME is set) to point to the installation of the Java JDK. – kaderud May 15 '13 at 20:41

For me it ignored the JAVA_HOME and JDK_HOME until I shut down the cmd and restarted it. Guessing it re-read the env vars and picked it up at that point. Had tried from cmd and just the old pointy-clicky in windows explorer. – jeffa00 May 16 '13 at 17:24

Just an additional note, I had to reboot my PC before the environment variable(s) were picked up by the installer. I set JDK_HOME, JAVA_HOME and ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK all to the path to JDK. After that it installed and worked. – gmn Aug 03 '13 at 07:46

It's worth noting that some tools don't like the space in 'Program File' so on Windows it's best to set your `JAVA_HOME` variable using the abbreviated format: `C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_21` There's no need to have JDK_HOME and JAVA_HOME, just using JAVA_HOME is fine. – samael Oct 21 '13 at 07:37

OK, I figured out how fix this nasty bug.

Before you start

Go to your Android Studio installation folder and locate the bin folder. Inside the bin folder, you will find studio.bat. Execute the file, and it'll show the error. If it is about the Java path then follow the tip 1.

Tip 1

When you set the path JAVA_HOME, etc., make sure not to include bin at the end of the path. This solved the issue for me.

JAVA_HOME => C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21

path => C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\bin

It works fine with JDK 1.7 (I tried with 32 bit).

If you do so, you can see the initial screen as below.

Enter image description here

Tip 2

Are you getting the below error message?

Your Android SDK is out of date or is missing templates. Please ensure you are using SDK version 22 or later.

This error probably occurs, because you have reference to your older SDK (that you downloaded with Eclipse) in your path variable. Go to Environment variables and remove any reference to the old SDK folder and point it to new SDK folder that is found inside the Android Studio installation folder.

Save and restart Studio, things should work as expected now.

Tip 3

If you hate messing around with the path variable as given above by removing old references, simply follow the following steps to refer to new SDK path that comes with Studio.

*Project Defaults* -> *Project Structure* -> Click "New" -> Select "Android SDK" -> Select the SDK folder inside the studio installation.

@Carlo did you follow the steps mentioned above? – Jay Mayu May 16 '13 at 08:26

@MayuMayooresan yeah I did. What I had to do was to re-install everything. I think the problem with this came out of another problem I was having. The first problem was when installing the studio, it said that I didn't have the JDK (but I did), so a solution that I found was to uninstall x64 and install x86 - that fixed the first problem, but I think it caused the second one. So what I had to do was uninstall everything (studio, JDK and ADT), and re-install (this time x64 JDK) and of course remap the system variables. That did the trick and I was able to do a hello world app =) Thanks! – Carlo May 16 '13 at 17:49
I ended up having to remove the double-quotes around my JAVA_HOME and JDK_HOME. In my environment properties, this: `JAVA_HOME`: `"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk 1.8.0_101"` became: `JAVA_HOME`: `C:\Program Files\Java\jdk 1.8.0_101` (notice the lack of `"` in the latter) – inyourcorner Aug 24 '16 at 17:00
FWIW I also added `%JDK_HOME%\bin%` to `Path` System variable list, and `%JDK_HOME%` to `Path` in my User variable list. I don't know if that's necessary, but once I got it working with everything I just went with it. – inyourcorner Aug 24 '16 at 17:08

With the last update of Android Studio, I have two versions of the IDE's launcher

One is called studio.exe and the other studio64.exe they are both on:

C:\Users\myUserName\AppData\Local\Android\android-studio\bin

You have to launch the one that matches your Java version 64 or 32 bit

Juts one more clarification: Android studio installer by default set shortcut to studio64.exe by default on Windows 7 64bit even my JDK is 32bit. When I changed shortcut to target "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio1\bin\studio.exe" everything works OK. – Damir Jul 07 '14 at 11:52

Yes, indeed, one needs to match studio.exe with 32bit JDK (JAVA_HOME) or studio64.exe with 64bit JDK (JAVA_HOME). Since I use 32 bit JDK for Eclipse I wish I could have two environments: 32 for eclipse and 64 for studio (I recall Python had a solution of virtual machine (or env) and one could toggle easily between 'profiles'. – eugene Aug 25 '14 at 14:31

Successtully running android

Step 1: Go to the system properties by right-clicking on My Computer or by pressing windows button on typing This PC and right clicking on it and selecting Properties.

enter image description here

Step 2: Click the advanced system settings or Environment Variables

Step 3: Take note that there are 2 different variable. What you need to create is system variables not user variables, when you clicked new type the following

Variable name: JAVA_HOME

Variable value: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\ (Note: Please check if the path is right, sometimes it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_25)

Step 4: Run the android studio, no need to restart.

Note:

*C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\ depends entirely on the installation path of your JDK not JRE so don't be confused if you see something like the picture below. Just enter the location of your jdk, in my case it is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\.

*Do not include the bin folder when you enter the Variable value.

I had the same issue. I am having 64-bit windows 8. I downloaded the android studio which worked on a 32-bit machine but not on my 64-bit.

The solution for me was pretty simple. I navigated to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\bin

there I saw 2 exe files studio.exe and studio64.exe. Normally my start menu was pointing to studio64.exe which always kept on giving me "The environmental variable JDK_HOME does not point to valid JVM". So then I clicked studio.exe and it worked :)

I hope this may help someone facing the same problem as me

If you are getting message "Your Android SDK is out of date…" — click "Configure" —> "Project Defaults" —> "Project Structure", pick "SDKs" —> "Android SDK" and in a "Build Target" choose "Android 4.2.2". Click "OK". Now it should work fine.

Sometimes you can resolve this type of issue by setting environment variables so the process looks for the JDK in the right spot.

Another approach is to figure out where the process is looking, then put your JDK there.

I've had lots of success using Process Monitor from Sysinternals:

Start -> Run -> procmon
Go to the Filter menu, then select Filter...
Set Event Class is File System then Include
Add, then OK

This will filter down to all the file system operations taking place on your machine.

You could try filtering based on the result of the File System operation:

Right click on the Result column, then Exclude 'SUCCESS'

You can also quite easily filter based on the process name, either from the Filter... menu option or by right clicking on the Process Name column and selecting Include 'process.exe'.

Once you find the file system operation that's failing, the Path column will tell you where to put your JDK.

I've found this to be very empowering. Especially compared to the frustrating process of changing environment variables by trial and error.

I tried your suggestion and I am seeing a lot of entries in process monitor for Android Studio process. For many entries it is showing "NAME NOT FOUND" in "Result" column. What to do now? — Frank Martin, Dec 17 '14 at 20:28

I couldn't get this to work no matter which environment variables I set. So I simply put a copy of the JDK into my Android Studio installation folder.

Copy the contents of the JDK installation (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_21)
Paste them into the installation directory of the Android Studio (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio)

I somewhat assumed that the issue was caused by having the x64 version of the JDK installed. But what was especially confusing was the fact that I could start Android Studio just fine when I started the studio.bat as an Administrator (even though the environment variables were set for my personal user account).

studio.bat will look for several valid options when determining which JDK to use.

:: Locate a JDK installation directory which will be used to run the IDE. :: Try (in order): ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK, ..\jre, JDK_HOME, JAVA_HOME.

As explained above, I picked the ..\jre option.

MAKE SURE YOU RESTART ANDROID STUDIO

Even though I should know better and swear I did, make sure you restart studio after making these changes as it clearly does not check them on every build (which to me makes sense that system/user variables should only be read once on startup)

Anyway, yea... Make sure you restart after you make these changes.

For me the problem was when I first installed Android Studio my JDK version was 1.7, then after installing I updated the JDK to 1.8, then I removed the old JDK folder and everything was messed up, even uninstalling and reinstalling android studio randomly didn't solve the issue.

Below is the solution that worked for me

Uninstall Android Studio.
clean temp files and android studio C:\Users\Username.AndroidStudio1.5
Uninstall JDK.
Now without JDK try to install Android Studio and now it will show the message that it can't find any JDK. Stop installation
Install JDK 1.7 or 1.8 (Set JAVA_HOME, JDK_HOME, path Environment variables as explained by everybody above)
Install Android Studio.

Add JAVA_HOME and JDK_HOME system environment variables.
Right-click android studio (the 64 version if that's your OS and JDK) and go to compatibility tab and set "Run as administrator" to true.
Run android studio and high-five me virtually when it works.
If that fails, try "where java" in cmd.exe. If it lists c:\system32\java.exe first, then rename the file and try again.

I downloaded the latest jdk version

JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\bin Set the PATH to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_11\bin

I restarted the STUDIO and it worked.

On Windows 10, restarting the installer and running as admin worked for me.

I also found that I had to open `studio64.exe` and not `studio.exe` to get it to run. – ecnepsnai Jan 30 '15 at 03:08

To complete this stack of possible solutions: For me the problem was, that I did not execute the Android-Studio-Setup as administrator. Running it as administrator then made me able to install Android-Studio.

For me, the problem was that I had changed the GC vm arg to -XX:+UseParallelGC in the C:\Users\<username>\.AndroidStudio2.1\studio64.exe.vmoptions file. That's what I use in Eclipse and I was trying various things to get AndroidStudio half way as efficent as Eclipse. I restored the GC to -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC.
