I recently installed IntelliJ IDEA 2018. However, when I tried to run IntelliJ, I received the following error message:

Error loading IDEA:
Error loading IDEA

I looked up my system environment variables which I have posted below:

System Variables:
System Variables

I checked which version of Java I have on the command prompt:

Java Version | Command Prompt:
Java Version | Command Prompt

I checked my program files:

Program Files | JDK 9:
Program Files | JDK 9

I also checked my Program Files (x86):

Program Files (x86) | JRE 1.8: Program Files (x86) | JRE 1.8

  • Thank you for your quick response. I apologize that my post isn't more readable. I hope you can view my images. I did see that post, however, when I attempted to use the solution provided (edit the Path within system variables to reference %JAVA_HOME%\bin, my problem persisted. Also, my error message is slightly different from the one posted. My error message references jetbrains and the jre that was installed with Intellij – Daedalus Mar 29 '18 at 03:37

  • please post the contents of `%PATH%` here as text (you may blacken personal data though, if you want to) - the screenshot doesn't show the full PATH – Alexander May 11 '19 at 09:42

I've had an issue in the past where the oracle jdk was given priority over the jdk I wanted to use and eclipse wouldn't load because of it. While this is not exactly the same issue it seems similar in nature since I see you have a listing for Oracle/java/javapath in your Path environment variable.

I can see in your path that oracle is listed first.

Try listing %JAVA_HOME%/bin; as the first entry inside your Path variable.

  • Thank you for your answer! Although listing listing %JAVA_HOME%/bin; as the first entry inside your Path variable didn't work for me, listing it last did the job! – Daedalus Mar 31 '18 at 21:16

Thank you everyone for your help. Listing %JAVA_HOME%/bin; as the last entry inside my Path variable resolved my issue.

Copy the below path from your local machine

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_181\jre\bin\server\jvm.dill

And Set the Environment Variables

Set the %JAVA_HOME%\bin

I faced same issue and resolved from http://commandstech.com/intellij-idea-failed-to-load-jvm-dll/
