JVM variable not set correctly enough for Android Studio

Question

Having trouble firing up android studio. I get the following message: The environment variable JAVA_HOME (with the value of ?C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\jre and every other variation I can guess) does not point to a valid JVM installation. I am trying to do this on a windows xp desktop. I just installed Android Studio and the jdk file today.

Answer 1

The environment variable JAVA_HOME does not point to a valid JVM installation

JAVA_HOME should be set to the root of your Java installation.

set JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\

or add this value to the system environment variables.

See What are PATH and other environment variables, and how can I set or use them? for more information.
