JRE or JDK must be available for installing STS 4

Question

I am trying to install Spring Tool Suite. I have successfully installed it. But when I am opening the application, it gives me this warning

I have jdk and jre both installed in my laptop

 (C:\Program Files\Java)

I have also added the jdk path in my environment variable by setting variable name

 JAVA_HOME

and path is

 C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.1.

My java version

java version "1.8.0_211"

I have also verified my path using echo %JAVA_HOME% and the path is correct. Can anybody help me why I am I still getting this error? Is there any step that I am missing?

I'd recommend installing choco (https://chocolatey.org/install) and using that to install Java for you, it will set up the path and env variables etc, so you will not face any manual errors — Oozeerally, Jun 09 '20 at 11:20
@Unknown no, you claim you already did, yet you also claim it's java 12 you have installed — Stultuske, Jun 09 '20 at 11:21
"and path is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.1." how is that 1.8.0_211? — Stultuske, Jun 09 '20 at 11:25
You get your java path by running echo %JAVA_HOME% in your cmd. And I got "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.1" . — Unknown, Jun 09 '20 at 11:28
@Unknown your java path tells you you have Java 12 installed but when running java version it tells you Java 8 is installed. Seems like you have an inconsistency — Lino, Jun 09 '20 at 11:43
please make sure that both have same bit 32 or 64 and check in system path variable which version you have configured — Srikanth Janapati, Jun 12 '20 at 07:18

I think in your system have both java 12 and 8 verison, try to configure java 8 version in system path variable and check once, and please make sure that both( jdk and sts) have same bit 32 or 64.
