Unable to find Java Virtual Machine

718714Aug 22 2009 — edited Aug 22 2009
I just installed jdk-6u16 in my 64-b Vista PC and got that error when launching SQL Developer 1.5.5

I can also see a Command Prompt window when this happens, and it says ERROR: Cannot find VM at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16 which is the folder I used to install JDK

Any ideas?

I have set the $ORACLE_HOME path aswell
But you didn't set it within PATH environment variable, for example
$ export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
Dude!
The following should work: 
[root@ol1 ~]# su - oracle
[oracle@ol1 ~]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [oracle] ? yoursid
The Oracle base has been set to /u01/app/oracle
[oracle@ol1 ~]$ which sqlplus
/u01/app/oracle/product/112/db/bin/sqlplus

Hi there

try dude suggestion, but you got the wrong oracle home

checking the output you should do

export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH

you should set the ORACLE_SID as the db instance, but with the PATH and the proper ORACLE_HOME you will get sqlplus
