This question ( Android Studio error: "Environment variable does not point to a valid JVM installation") had an answer in it about JDK_HOME which seemed to do the trick for me. So I'm back to 圆4, which is what Android Studio asks for.ĮDITED BECAUSE I SORT OF FOUND A WORKAROUND

I have uninstalled and reinstalled several different versions of the JDK, and it's clear x86 won't work with Android studio AT ALL for me.

If it's NOT an environment variable problem, does that mean I don't have a JVM installation? Is that a separate thing from the SDK that Android Studio's instructions told me to download? I didn't see any separate JVM files or I would have tried that too. I'm not sure what else to do at this point. For good measure, I then tried adding it to PATH as well, which also didn't help.

So that clearly doesn't work for me.Īs per another question ( Android Studio error: "Environment variable does not point to a valid JVM installation"), I also tried adding the C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_92\bin to a JDK_HOME variable in addition to JAVA_HOME, but that didn't seem to change anything. When I do that, javac -version tells me I do not have Java installed. I found a few related questions here, and experimented with removing the \bin, because it worked for some other people. If I put JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_92\bin, as their instructions guide, it works and I can use javac -version in Powershell that tells me I'm running 1.8.0_92.īut when I try to run Android Studio, it tells me "The environment variable JAVA_HOME with the value of C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_92\bin does not point to a valid JVM installation." I also followed the instructions (as far as I know - I'm such a noob I don't know if I did it correctly) to add the JAVA_HOME environment variable. I followed their link and downloaded the latest JDK. I'm trying to install and use Android studio.
