I updated android studio from Dolphin to Electric Eel and now it won't start, giving the following error message:
Failed to load JVM DLL C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr\\bin\server\jvm.dll
If you already have a JDK installed, define a JAVA_HOME variable in Computer > System Properties > System Settings > Environment Variables.
I already have JAVA_HOME set but tried different paths, different java versions, uninstalling, installing, etc.
Tried deleting all the caches I could find (probably missing something).
Tried uninstalling android studio multiple times, or going back to the older version and updating again.
While on the older version - tried to change the JDK that the studio was using and then update.
Nothing of the above works.
After some Windows updates, I faced the same problem. Download a fresh copy of JetBrainsRuntime and replace the C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr folder with this new one.
Edit:
There's a workaround mentioned here. It worked for me.
It says to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
Installing it provides a "missing vcruntime140_1.dll file in bundled Java Runtime" to the Android Studio.
Old answer:
I "solved" it by deleting the jvm.dll file in C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr\bin\server.
Then it started actually looking up the JAVA_HOME variable and the studio launched.
I am new to Android Studio.I installed Android Studio-1.2.1.1 and i have jdk1.7.0_40 installed.I am facing problem with gradle build.
For reference you can check gradle issue
I am getting following error in messages
Error:The newly created daemon process has a different context than expected.
Java home is different.
Expecting: 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_40' but was: 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_40\jre'.
Please configure the JDK to match the expected one.
Open JDK Settings
All i understood is gradle is using JRE and Android Studio is using JDK and due to that two JAVA_HOME's are different and giving errors.
I tried downloading gradle 2.3 and changed gradle path in android studio to this file,still same problem.
This is a very late answer but I see that a common suggestion is to remove all other jdk's and this is not always the best idea. You might need older jdk's for different projects. You can go into the gradle.properties file for the project and enter the following line (varied based on your version):
org.gradle.java.home=C:/Java/jdk1.8.0_111
If you are using a different jdk just point to a different directory.
Replace this
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_40\jre
with
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_40
inside your JAVA_HOME variable
EDIT:
I fixed this issue by uninstalling all the jdk installation & updates
then reinstall only one jdk and assure its env. variables
I do not have a solution but I have the same problem
it happens as the android studio opens from java_home/jre thence all JVMs that will fork next will come from this path, while your system varible tells Gradle to get his java.exe from JAVA_HOME
I tried to make gradle read from jre but it falied also i tried to make android studio open from java_home/bin but it falid also
For those who are on OS X El Capitan (v10.10) and end up with the above error message.
In my case there was nothing wrong with Gradle, simply my Java 1.8 was "too new" for Android Studio 1.5 so I had to install older 1.7.
I downloaded it from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
(jdk-7u79-macosx-x64.dmg)
After all I had to just update JDK location in the project structure
I already had java jdk 7u17 and I also had got same error as FaizAli.
I try to search and done a lot of changes but not success!
Then, I downloaded jdk 7u80 at this link and installed this jdk.
After that those error gone.
I solved it by going to Project Structure then unchecking use embedded JDK and then setting the path to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121
What I found out in my case is that the SDK my project pointed to "broke" and I had to fix its "JDK home path":
This is 2019.
For anyone experiencing this issue...
The first thing is to make sure that you correctly set your environment variables as per this instruction: https://www.mkyong.com/java/how-to-set-java_home-on-windows-10/
Which means you should be able to type javac -version and java -version and get the version number inside your Home directory.
Once you can confirm this, then go to the Project Structure inside, the SDK Location > JDK Location select Use JAVA_HOME environment variable.
This was what I did and it worked.
Solved this by going to
File -> Project Structure -> SDK Location
and under JDK Location, update with Gradle SDK location.
This happens because Android is using embedded ( JRE ) which is selected as recommended and at same time Android Studio detects JDK Home_Path (Environmental Variable ) and due to that two JAVA Path are different there is the conflict so it give you Error :
If You remove java_home path or Environmental variable you will get this error:
CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified [Android studio
For Android Studio, the solution is to go to File> Other Setting > Default Project Structure> Uncheck the checkbox
and browse and set JDK path
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
I had the same issue. I got resolved setting up correctly the environment variables in windows, for instance:
JAVA_HOME -> C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45
path -> C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\bin
I've tried so many of the answers here but none of them works, so I decided to mix some of the answers here and I am successful!
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.
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.
Edit: For Windows 8 and 10 Users: Try to run C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\studio.exe instead of C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\binstudio64.exe
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
The path for the latest JDK. It worked very well.
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.
I got the problem that the installation stopped by the "$(^name) has stopped working" error. I have installed the Java SE Development kit already, and also set both SDK_HOME and JAVA_HOME that point to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21"
My laptop installed with Windows 7 64 bits
So I tried to install the 32-bit version of the Java SE Development kit, and set my JAVA_HOME to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_21", restart and the installation worked OK.
This problem has been fixed in Android Studio v0.1.1, so just update Android Studio and it should work.
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.
My issue was caused because I have an & character in my Windows user name, so when installed in the default path I was getting the following error after running bin/studio.bat
|
v notice broken path
The system cannot find the file C:\Users\Daniel \studio64.exe.vmoptions.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/intellij/idea/Main

Could not find the main class: com.intellij.idea.Main. Program will exit.
So I uninstalled and reinstalled it to program files and it launches fine now.
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.
Today I found another situation when this problem occures - when you have several JDK, defined in JAVA_PATH. I have:
JAVA_HOME = C:\JAVA\JDK\jdk1.6.0_38;C:\JAVA\JDK\jdk1.7.0_10
So I received this problem with Android Studio setup
But when I've removed one of JDK - problem has been solved:
JAVA_HOME = C:\JAVA\JDK\jdk1.7.0_10
Installation wisard found my jdk and i had a nice night to study studio.
But unfortunatelly even installed studio doesn't work with several jdk.
Does anybody know how to fix it?
I hope I've helped someone
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.
Windows 64 bit, JDK 64 bit (Solution that worked for me)
Tried all the above solutions, and None of them worked, I have been trying to solve it for the past few days and now I did it successfully. 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.
Done. Enjoy and happy coding.
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.
Path = to the bin folder in the jdk folder (path already exists)
JAVA_HOME = to the jdk folder
Install the latest JDK in your system from JDK 7 and JRE 7 Installation Guide.
JAVA_HOME -> C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_4
path -> C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_4\bin
If setting the JAVA_HOME variable doesn't work for you, set:
STUDIO_JDK=C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.8.0_172
Where the path points to your JDK installation
This is the only thing which works for me in Windows 32bit with Android 10 and up.
In my experience, I was unable (even after adding JDK_HOME) to launch Studio via either the shortcut or studio.exe itself. I had to first run bin/studio.bat (mentioned in the original question).
After the first successful launch, I'm able to start it with the shortcut.
If you have a 64 bit windows OS, pointing the JAVA_HOME system variable to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_21
Will work when
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21
fails to work.
You need 1.7 JDK installed on your system. Add a system variable with:
name: ANDROID_STUDIO_JDK
path: your JDK path (for example, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21)
See more at FIX: Android Studio - Installation Issues on Windows 7 | ERROR: cannot start Android Studio. No JDK found.
TRY TO INSTALL 32BIT JDK
if you have jdk installed and had set up the System Varibles such as JAVA_HOME or JDK_HOME
and tried click back and then next ,you might have installed the 64bit JDK,just download the 32bit jdk and install it.
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.
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.
The answer to the original question is that, might be you are opening android studio from 32 bit shortcut icon of android studio, try to open from icon "studio64" located under .../bin/ where android studio setup is install.
In case you had it running but Now it doesn't Launch.
I deleted the C:\Users\<NAME>\.AndroidStudio<version>\ folder and it worked.
I have downloaded android-sdk_r08-windows.zip and installed it in c:\. When I try to run the SDK Manager, it briefly pops up a DOS window then closes. Trying to run adroid update sdk results in a null pointer exception. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the SDK for both android and java multiple times. This is on windows XP SP3. Any ideas?
Thanks,
John

Apparently my system had a residual .android folder lying around from when I played around with the android SDK over a year ago. Renaming that file resulted in the SDK Manager coming up.
Make sure the JDK path is added to the Environmental variables.Its usually happenes when a JDK/JRE uninstall is succeeded by another JDK install
Have you installed the JDK, rather than the JRE?
Also, check that your JAVA_HOME variable points to your JDK install path.
instead of opening android sdk manager open android.bat in tools folder. i think it is sdk\tools
You need make sure that:
1) JDK or JRE is installed
2) Within System Variables, the JAVA_HOME variable is set to your JDK/JRE folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jre7)
3) Your PATH variable includes %JAVA_HOME%\bin
