I can't seem to run android studio after downloading java and android studio - MSVCR100.dll missing??

It says failed to load JVM DLL C:\Program Files\java...If you already have a 64 bit JDK installed, define a JAVA home variable in Computer>System Properties> System Settings> Environment Variables

PLEASE Help!

Thank you, Ryan

Hi Ryan,

I found this on stack overflow: With android studio no jvm found, JAVA_HOME has been set

The solution has been:

It says that it should be a 64-bit JDK. I have a feeling that you installed (at a previous time) a 32-bit version of Java. The path for all 32-bit applications in Windows 7 and Vista is:

C:\Program Files (x86)

You were setting the JAVA_HOME variable to the 32-bit version of Java. Set your JAVA_HOME variable to the following:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45

If that does not work, check that the JDK version is 1.7.0_45. If not, change the JAVA_HOME variable to (with JAVAVERSION as the Java version number:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdkJAVAVERSION
