Question

I am trying to run visualvm in my Windows 8 machine and i am getting error 'Local java applications cannot be detected'. I tried to follow the below steps to resolve the issue as suggested in 'https://visualvm.github.io/troubleshooting.html'. I gave full permission to my 'AppData\Local\Temp\hsperfdata_Dhasan' folder. But still i am getting the same error whenever i start visualvm. Please help me to fix this issue.

Thanks.
