guys Variable name (2): in description is wrong it should be -Xmx512M, the - sign is bigger in description. So if you ever tried reinstalling java you are getting same error again cuz of this fucking mistake.

[sharkkid]

Hi I did this but it still is showing the error, any other solutions?

[ThorHanson]

Thank you so much brother, it worked!! If you see _JAVA_OPTIONS already exists, delete it, then add it again as a new system variable, that worked for me.

[marcovelluti]

man its not working, i followed all the steps correctly but nothing, i have the same problem, please help me if you can

[crimsondragon]

I dont recommend doing this. It will cause all the other java applications and programs to give out error virtual machine. Trust me on this.

The best thing I could think of is running a JRE but I'm not sure if it would fully work

Powiem tak jeśli moje zmysły nie wykrywają czegoś czyli jeśli czegoś nie widze nie słysze nie czuje zapachu, smaku to w to nie wierze proste i logiczne biblia to jedyny dowód na istnienie "Boga" szkoda że nie zbamy autora a z nieba raczej nie spadła plus była tyle razy modyfikowana że nie wiadomo juz co jest złe a co dobre ludzie niech sobie wierzą w co chcą nawet w walonego potwora spaghetti w mojej opinni takie instytucje jak kościół nie powinny istnieć bo żyją tylko i wyłącznie naiwnością ludzi
