I get an error every time I run my IDEA, seems like it is because I use 64 bit but running the IDEA of 32 bit. From what I've searched, it refers me to use idea64.exe, but where can I find it?

did you check your JAVA_HOME path in system path? may be that denoted 32 bit java path. – Neeraj Kumar Jul 25 '17 at 16:22

@NeErAjKuMaR I have checked it, my JAVA_HOME refers to the jdk home without bin – Anthony Lauly Jul 25 '17 at 16:23

that jdk is 32 bit or 64 bit? – Neeraj Kumar Jul 25 '17 at 16:24

When you install IntelliJ IDEA there is a question if you want to download 32-bit JDK. Make sure you've enabled this checkbox. Also only add 32-bit launcher shortcut. – CrazyCoder Jul 25 '17 at 16:26

@NeErAjKuMaR how do I check it ? – Anthony Lauly Jul 25 '17 at 16:26

Enter command 1) java -d32 2) java -d64 that command gave you output means you installed that in your system – Neeraj Kumar Jul 25 '17 at 16:29

IntelliJ IDEA is now bundled with only 64-bit Java version. 32-bit JDK is not provided. If you install on the 32-bit system, there will be a checkbox in the installer to automatically download and configure 32-bit Runtime for IntelliJ IDEA.
Installer also has the options to create both 32-bit and 64-bit executable shortcuts. If you want to run 64-bit version, use IDEA_HOME\bin\idea64.exe.
Or you can just download this runtime version and unpack it into IDEA_HOME directory (so that you have IDEA_HOME\jre). Make sure to start IntelliJ IDEA with bin\idea.exe instead of bin\idea64.exe. This will start IntelliJ IDEA in 32-bit mode.
Another option is to download the .zip version for Windows, it has both 32-bit and 64-bit runtimes. Then you can use either bin\idea.exe or bin\idea64.exe to run (if you are on the 64-bit system):

At least the answer to your question
it refers me to use idea64.exe, but where can I find it?
is quite straightforward:
Under the folder you installed IntelliJ IDEA into, e.g.
C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 2017.2\ there is a subfolder bin\ where you find idea64.exe

It is complaining because it cannot find a 32-bit JDK on your computer? Do you have the JDK installed? If not, follow this official documentation or use this video. You will probably need to install the 32-bit version if you want to use the 32-bit IDE.

Actually I am complaining because I cannot launch my IDEA and I am not sure what is the problem – Anthony Lauly Jul 25 '17 at 16:48

Sorry for the confusion, I said it is complaining as in the IDE is complaining about not having the proper JDK, not that you are complaining. – Mr. Pasta Jul 25 '17 at 16:50

I believe the problem is you having a 64-bit jdk but a 32-bit IDE. As such the IDE (probably) would complain about that and not launch. – Mr. Pasta Jul 25 '17 at 16:51
