I ran into this issue as well. My solution was to add the jdk bin to my system path. I also had to use Git Bash as my CLI

  1. Close any CLI windows
  2. Edit your Path system variable and add a new entry for a path pointing to the jdk bin in your Android Studio install. For me this was C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\bin. This dir has the java.exe in it on Windows
  3. Save your path variable and reopen your CLI
  4. Try java --version. You should get the version of your java install
  5. Retry ktlint --version. You should get the version of your ktlint install (Note: this assumes you already added ktlint to your system path as well, or are in the ktlint install dir)
