SQL Developer / JDK On Windows Server 2008 64 bit R2

MarkLarochelle Sep 24, 2013 3:04 PM

Does anyone have the recipe to fix the annoying message: "Cannot find a J2SE installed at path: C:\Program Files\Java\jre6"? I get the same message, when trying to set up and run SQL Developer on a Windows 2008 server with SQL Developer 32 bit, Java 1.6 and Java 1.7 32 bit, and now trying with SQL Developer 64-bit with JDK 64 bit. Thank-you.

I've now moved your question from the SQL and PL/SQL forum (which is for SQL and PL/SQL lanugage questions) to the SQL Developer forum.

SQL Developer requires a JDK, not a JRE. When you are asked to select the path you need to into "C:\program files\jdk1.6.0_35\bin" (or whatever) rather the the jre6 directory.

If you are using SQLDeveloper 3.2, then you need to be using the latest JDK 1.6 release. The bittage of the JDK should match your SQL Developer (and your oracle client if you are using one).
