Error: Unable to find Java Virtual Machine - SQLdeveloper

Unable to find Java Virtual Machine.

To point to a location of a Java Virtual Machine, please refer to the Oracle Install Guide(java\install.html)

After successful installation of Oracle 64 bit, When we try to open sql developer ( sqldeveloper.exe) , the following message is shown:

"Unable to find Java Virtual Machine. To point to a location of a Java Virtual Machine, please refer to the Oracle Install Guide(java\install.html)."

 

Oracle - SQL developer is NOT supported on 64 bit JDK. So Install a 32 bit / x86 JDK and updated java location at sqldeveloper config file.


Step by step Issue solving:

1. Register at oracle.com
   Log into it
2. Download JDK  -  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u25-download-346242.html
3. Select windows x86, download and install jdk
4. Edit the “sqldeveloper.conf“
5. Location of conf file: \sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf
6. Now change “SetJavaHome” to your 32 bit JDK location.(i.e) “SetJavaHome C:\Program Files (x86) \Java\jdk1.6.0_25“
7. If admin permission is not given go to properties of that file by right clicking it, Then give full access to users.

Now Your SQl Developer will work..
