    I'm having the same issue, did you resolve this? – Nick_O Oct 13 '16 at 19:16

    Found an quick solution, you just need to download the latest version of java runtime envioroment (JRE) and that will do the trick http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html – Cesar Hernandez Jul 28 '17 at 18:13

I had the same problem this morning. There are two practical ways to solve it:

  • Download the right version (probably DBeaver 64Bit version). You must actually find out which JRE-version your computer is running.
  • Change the JVM DBeaver is using: Go to the DBeaver-directory and add the lines below on the top of the dbeaver.ini file. Be aware that the line break is important! 
    -vm  
C:/path/to/your/jdk/jdk-8u144-windows-x64/jre/bin/server/jvm.dll
    Of course you must have the right jdk installed where the directory is pointing to.

  • In Ubuntu, I just added "-vm /my/java8-dir/bin/java" into dbeaver.ini. – edib Jan 04 '19 at 13:40

    For me, it was enough to add `-vm \n C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_102\jre\bin` (Windows obviously). The linebreak was important. Without it, DBeaver didn't start. – xJREB Apr 30 '19 at 14:00
  • I've used like `-vm D:\Progs\Java64\bin` PS: 'D:\Progs\Java64\bin' part must be in the new line. – Turker Tunali Oct 09 '20 at 12:43

I downloaded the 64bit zip version of Dbeaver and I got the same error. So I downloaded the 32bit zip version and that worked fine. I assume I have a 32bit version of java VM installed.

Starting with DBveaver version 6.0.1 only the 64-bit version is available and I had to install 64-bit JRE to make it work.

https://dbeaver.io/download/

32-bit versions were obsolete in version 6.0.1 and later (because both Java and Eclipse platform are no longer support 32 bit). If you need 32-bit version of DBeaver then you can download version 6.0.0 or earlier or use DBeaver Enterprise.

It was a long time ago, but maybe it will help one or the other.

In my case I installed DBeaver for myself as a user and my username contained the character #. So I got this error message.

I reinstalled DBeaver for 'all users' and it worked.
