I recently installed Java 8 on my Windows 10 computer. I recently tried to run a java app and didn´t worked and now I am trying to run an installer for a java app and an error message pop ups: "Cannot find Java 1.8 or higher".

I checked the "default apps by file" in Control Panel, but there´s no application associated with .jar, .java, etc., type of files and I cannot select Java at all. I suspect it has something to do with the PATH, but I don't know how to proceed in Win10.

I appreciate the help.

  • You really should have edited your question. C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath is that the path to your Java 8 installation?

  • You are right, my bad. No that wasn´t the correct path of installation, but I don´t know why there were some java program files in Common Files and also in Program Files (x86). I tried editing the path and creating JAVA_HOME but still didn´t worked. I ended up uninstalling and installing manual mode choosing the 64 bit and this time it only installed in Program Files directory, now it works.
