IntelliJ Idea Android project: Gradle project sync failed [duplicate]

Question

EDIT:

The solution prompted by @Percy Vega on this post worked for me.

Running idea64.exe instead of idea.exe when you have a 64 bit JRE seems to do the trick.

I've never used Gradle, so I'm pretty confused right now: I've been trying for a while now to get this to work, but without any success. I'm trying to create an Android project in IntelliJ Idea 2016.3.2, but as soon as I create it, I get this message:

On the message log:

Gradle sync started

Gradle sync failed: The newly created daemon process has a different context than expected.
It won't be possible to reconnect to this daemon. Context mismatch: 
Java home is different.

I've downloaded Gradle 3.3 and stored it at:

C:\Program Files\Gradle\gradle-3.3

Here are the Gradle setting, inside of IntelliJ. Iv'e also tried to check 'Offline Work', but it gives the same result:

The project root's build.gradle file:

And the app´s build.gradle file:

How can I manage to fix this? Thanks in advance.

PS: If any more information would be useful please just ask.

One specifies the version of Gradle inside a gradle-wrapper.properties file, whose contents look like this:

#Thu Oct 06 00:21:08 IDT 2016
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip

Assuming your project structure is:

my-project
 |- app
     |+ libs
     |+ src
 |- gradle
     |- wrapper
         |- gradle-wrapper.properties  << here

Then, AS downloads it and typically installs it (on a Windows machine) to:

C:\Users\<username>\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-<version>-all
