I have Java 8 update 25 installed with JDK 8.25. My problem is when I try to install the Android SDK tools, it gives me an error "..can't write in file java_find.exe" which I automatically understood as it can't find Java on my computer.

I have these two in my path variable: 

C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_25/bin;C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_25/bin

What's wrong? The first time I installed the SDK tools, the SDK manager worked fine but now it just opens the command prompt and closes quickly.

Check if u've got the JAVA_HOME environment variable. Check if the bin folder of your java installation is in the path and even if it is already there, move it to be the first one of the line.

It should work.

  • What should I put as a value for JAVA_HOME? – mifrani Nov 28 '14 at 21:35
  • Path to the jdk... Mmh... It's the whole thing but the \bin – eduyayo Nov 29 '14 at 02:07
  • In the system PATH u have to have the bin. For windows users it is something like %JAVA_HOME%\bin but i'm not sure (but drunk) if there must be one or two % symbols, u better google for that – eduyayo Nov 29 '14 at 02:09
  • Another problem came out, after I fixed the SDK installing problem, now the manager won't launch the second time. At first it used to work properly and now it doesn't. What's the problem? – mifrani Nov 29 '14 at 18:03
  • It may be that the manager wont't run with the RE you've installed – eduyayo Nov 29 '14 at 18:11
  • But the JDK automatically installs the jRE 1.8_25.. Should i get an older version? – mifrani Nov 29 '14 at 22:57
  • Well... I'm usin java 7 with no problems ATALL... But it does not mean you're wrong for I just donno if you're running the tool with jdk or jre or if the 8th one is not compatible :( sorry – eduyayo Nov 29 '14 at 23:30
  • Could you try to run the thing from a cmd window and see the error?? – eduyayo Nov 29 '14 at 23:31
  • Btw... For as fast as i know the jdk7 is a release and 8 and latter are official but not releases as we understand them for production. Sorry, i'm a j2ee developer and my customers won't give a damn for the thing until years from now :(. I'm stuck with older releases – eduyayo Nov 29 '14 at 23:41

Add a system variable named JAVA_HOME and set it to C:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_25
