Android SDK installation doesn't find JDK

Question

I'm trying to install the Android SDK on my Windows 7 x64 System. jdk-6u23-windows-x64.exe is installed, but the Android SDK setup refuses to proceed because it doesn't find the JDK installation.

Is this a known issue? And is there a solution?

Answer 1

Setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable to

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_07

instead of

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\bin

fixed it for me.

Answer 2

1-Simply done the "JAVA_HOME" environment variable thing.

2-Right-Click on Android SDK and from compatibletiy Tab Select windows 7 and administrator.

3-Run it again.

Answer 3

All you need are the following two registry entries. It appears as if whoever posted the other registry stuff basically just copied all the keys from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft, which obviously isn't an ideal solution because most of the keys aren't needed.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit]
"CurrentVersion"="1.6"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\1.6]
"JavaHome"="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.6.0_23"

This registry fix worked like a charm on my Windows 7 x64 setup: http://codearetoy.wordpress.com/2010/12/23/jdk-not-found-on-installing-android-sdk/

Answer 5

The guy above who put this: "I experienced this problem too, but none of the answers helped. What I did, I removed the last backslash from the JAVA_HOME variable and it started working. Also, remember not to include the bin folder in the path." This was in fact the correct answer.

For this SDK to install this is what I did. I am running the latest Microsoft OS Windows 8.

User Variables:

Path C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\bin

Environment Variables

Create these two:

CLASSPATH %HOME_JAVA%\jre\lib

HOME_JAVA C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09

This one already exists so just edit:

Path At this end of WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ simply add ";C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_09"

This is what I did and it worked for me. =)

Also, RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR! Worked for me with backslash fix.
