I got a similar error when installing the Java developer kit. Try this

in CMD type: java -version

if it can't get a java version do the below.

1. Right click Computer

2. Click properties

3. Click "Advanced system settings"

4. Click "Environment Variables"

5. Under system variables, find the Path variable

6. Click edit, and append to the end of the value: ";C:\(insert java.exe path here)"

7. restart the launcher

Well you didn't specify witch variable i needed to edit but neither the Class or QTjava worked. Same error message.

[Jay?]

and you still can't get a java version from CMD?

You could also try googling JavaRa, and telling it to clean all the java stuff out of your system.

[fireryan10]

Well Cmd comes up as not being able to find the configuration folder.

[Jay?]

Okay, then try using JavaRa to clean it all out, and reinstall java after that.

Ignore that user variable up there, i had a stupid moment.

That path variable that's highlighted is what you should have changed. If you don't have that, it's okay to add it.

[fireryan10]

So i used the program to clear out everything i could. them i went and uninstalled every version of java i have. I also then reinstated java found the path to the bin and replaced it in the variable you specified. Still no winner...

[Jay?]

Okay... Hm...

Oh! did you get both Java 1.5 and Java 1.7?

Sounds counter-intuitive, i know, but it's helped a few people with launcher problems.

[fireryan10]

Well im not sure where to even find those? Sounds kinda old. Would it help getting the development kit or the run-time environment? (im just shooting ideas)

[Jay?]

The runtime environment is what you should be getting. The dev kit won't help.

You can google java 1.5, i don't remember it being too hard to locate.

[fireryan10]

Thanks so much for you help i found a Java Run-time environment and installed it and what do you know it works again! Again you have been very helpful!

[Jay?]

No worries. I had to go through similar junk when i started learning Java last month.
