Help, I'm stuck on launching the Android Studio. Error says: The Environment variable JAVA_HOME(with the value of C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_25) does not point to a valid JVM installation.

Have a look at these posts which should get you started:
You need to point your JAVA_HOME at the right place.
Mine is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\bin\java.exe - (not x86) - try typing java where in a command prompt to find yours. Once you've established its location, you need to amend you environment variable of JAVA_HOME. Go to System Properties (advancaed) and there's a button for environment variables. Add it in there, or amend the existing one to the new path.
I hope that helps,
Steve.

6,935 PointsThanks for the help! I already did what they said on the SO links you gave before I posted the question. But your instructions really did help me.
By the way, I got another problem. I am running AMD processor, is it okay if I skip and don't install Intel HAXM? Thanks

I think if you're not using Intel, then it is fine to skip the HAXM installation. It is easy to install later, if skipping it does cause problems.
