Windows 10 Android Studio installation jdk error

Question

Alright I'm running windows 10 and I'm trying to install Android Studio 2.1 but it gave me a can't find valid jdk error so I downloaded jdk 1.8.0 and rebooted the installer but the problem still persists so I spent a few hours trying to figure out how to fix this. I made environment variables JAVA_HOME and set its path to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101 for both user ans system variables then rebooted the installer again and it still can't find a valid jdk.

How can I fix this?Here's a picture of the error

if you go to file -> project structure -> sdk, you can manually point to the jdk yourself — Bill, Aug 14 '16 at 11:52

I cant even install android studio so I dont think I can manually set the jdk. I put a picture to show what the error is — Hentix, Aug 14 '16 at 13:12
I also tried to browse through files and pasted C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101 into the manual jdk selection bar and that didnt fix the problem either. — Hentix, Aug 14 '16 at 13:13
Try restarting your pc after setting the environment variables and then check it — Vinoth Vino, Aug 14 '16 at 13:13
in prompt can you do `cd %JAVA_HOME%` does it go rightfully to jdk path? — Rinaldi Segecin, Aug 14 '16 at 13:15
I've restarted my pc and the error still appears and yes it is going to the right jdk path. — Hentix, Aug 14 '16 at 13:18

At the risk of being down-voted, I'll point out that there's a reason why some large percentage of developers working non-MS-specific languages use MacBooks or "PC" laptops running Linux.

That reason is that things tend to "just work". There's much less silliness about trying to "protect" the user from themselves by pretending that parts of the filesystem are in places other than where they actually are.

I'd suggest either installing VirtualBox or Docker (recently available for Windows), with your favorite Linux distro, and then setting up your dev environment in that.

It may take a bit of fiddling to get the USB communication to your Android device working with the virtualization, but it would totally be worth it.

I'm not sure if it would help, but here's my case :

CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_102\lib
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_102
Microsoft Windows [版本 10.0.10586] (Windows 10 Pro x64)

And I'm installing Android studio 2.1, it looks fine.
