javaw.exe cannot find path [duplicate]

Eclipse will not open due to environment variables

I'm using eclipse IDE and I tried to run a project, but I'm getting error. It says the javaw.exe cannot be run.

I reinstalled Java, now I have JRE 7 and also I installed Jdk, but still no luck.

I opened cmd to run javaw.exe and it says:

C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin>javaw.exe The system cannot find the file C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe

I think eclipse is installed correctly, but I have some trouble with Java. I reinstalled Java for 4 times. I don't know what to do. I can't forward with the tutorial that I'm trying to understand.

Facing the error Windows cannot find javaw.exe is frustrating when trying to launch Java programs. To quickly solve it, you can perform a quick malware scan or reinstall Java. You can also try to add the Javaw.exe path to the Environment Variable Path.

Why do I not have the Javaw EXE file?

Answers. javaw.exe is an executable which is part of the Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE). You are probably receiving this error because an application dependent on Java has been installed and is a Startup program.

Where is Javaw exe located?

javaw.exe is a legitimate file from Sun Microsystems. It is an executable file used for displaying error messages, if they occur while installing any application. It's an essential Java file and it is typically located in c:\program by default.

Also create PATH enviroment variable on you computer like this (if it doesn't exist already):

  1. Right click on My Computer/Computer
  2. Properties
  3. Advanced system settings (or just Advanced)
  4. Enviroment variables
  5. If PATH variable doesn't exist among "User variables" click New (Variable name: PATH, Variable value : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0\bin; <-- please check out the right version, this may differ as Oracle keeps updating Java). ; in the end enables assignment of multiple values to PATH variable.
  6. Click OK! Done

enter image description here

To be sure that everything works, open CMD Prompt and type: java -version to check for Java version and javac to be sure that compiler responds.

I hope this helps. Good luck!
