Question

While running

sencha app build production

I am getting the following error:

Error: Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'\CurrentVersion'

has value '1.8', but '1.7' is required. Error: could not find java.dll Error: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.

java -version , command is showing following:

java version "1.8.0_40" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b26) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b25, mixed mode)

Not able to find where path is going wrong. Any idea?

----------------------- EDIT ------------------------------------------------

Note: I am using Windows 7 (64 bit).

I have tried uninstalling the sencha touch cmd and reinstalling. But still same error.

I have uninstalled all the java version instances and reinstalled the latest one, Still the problem persist.

Answer 1

After the latest automatic Java update, I could not run Java from the command prompt.

My path variable had 'C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;'

I could not cd into 'C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;' from the command prompt window, since it did not exist.

I removed C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;' from the path variable and replaced it with 'C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_141\bin;'

Answer 2

My short contribution, for sharing the same problem with Talend Open Studio 64 bit version.

1. Launch ..\TOS_DI-Win32-20150702_1326-V6.0.0\TOS_DI-win-x86_64.exe manually (not link an startup Windows menu)
2. and this registry error message appears

To resolve this, remove all java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe files on c:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\

and TOS start with 64 bits version correctly !

Unistall Java 8 from your program list. BY following below steps:-

From your desktop, click on the Start Menu (or Start ball) at the lower left of your screen. Go to the Control Panel. Click on Programs and Features. Select Java8 and click Uninstall

Answer 4

I didn't delete any of the java.exe files, but changed the ordering of my System - "path" variable - so that it reflected %JAVA_HOME%\bin as the first entry. That did the trick.

Answer 5

My experience:

I am using windows 8.1 and i have downgraded JAVA version from 1.8 to 1.7 and i was getting the same error.

Error: Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Ja has value '1.7', but '1.8' is required.

I have deleted java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe from C:\Windows\System32 folder and it worked for me.

Answer 6

I have had the similar problem. Moving the JDK and JRE path to the top of the path variable solved the problem (which takes first priority over what is present under System32)

For example, here is mine:
