I have checked the version installed on PC.screenshot of java version and path where it was installed on my PC

My Android Studio Folder which was build doesn't created JRE Folder.Path where Android Studio has setup .

Just do this:

Select Start menu > Computer > System Properties > Advanced System Properties.

Then open Advanced tab > Environment Variables and add a new system variable JAVA_HOME that points to your JDK folder, for example C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79.

do i need to change in User Variable of my PC?? – Rounak Lahoti Mar 10 '16 at 10:08
Yes. You need to add a new environment variable, call it JAVA_HOME and give it the path to your JDK, like in the example. – Vucko Mar 10 '16 at 10:09
thanks for the reply but JAVA_HOME is already there and it also has some value.Should i change it to my JDk path? – Rounak Lahoti Mar 10 '16 at 10:11
Yes, you should change it to your JDK path. – Vucko Mar 10 '16 at 10:13
should i overwrite on previous path or i can say value which was there ? It not affect other things right?? – Rounak Lahoti Mar 10 '16 at 10:14
Well the previous path obviously isn't correct, just overwrite it. – Vucko Mar 10 '16 at 10:15
Yeah thanks buddy now i think it was in working mode atleast gone to next step. Thanks man, Now it was saying SDK tools directory is missing – Rounak Lahoti Mar 10 '16 at 10:19
No problem mate, close this thread tho, because this problem was fixed. If you cannot figure out how to proceed after this, consider searching for the new problem or posting it here separately. – Vucko Mar 10 '16 at 10:20

The mistake which i have done is that i am giving JAVA_HOME variable to System Variables not to User Variable.

so, we have to give a variable to a User Variable in environment variable.

second thing is that the value should only has a path of a jdk not other paths are added in that value.In my case it was also storing other path also don't know why??but now working.

I had a problem with the response, my operating system is 64bits, I tried to open the android-studio 32bits, I try to install a 32bits version of java, but got the response, I went to a bin folder Of Android studio, and opened the 64bits executable, worked correctly, with my java_home pointing to 64bits logically.

Then the confirmation looks like this:

Environment variable:

JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_xxx

Opening android studio:

studio64.exe

Android Studio error: “Environment variable does not point to a valid JVM installation”
