Failed to start an Appium session.Error was: Error: 'java -version' failed

Question

While running the application in Eclipse, I got error message as:

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: A new session could not be created. (Original error: 'java -version' failed. Error: Command failed: Error: opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'
Error: could not find java.dll Error: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.

and in appium console it showing as Failed to start an Appium session, err was:

Error: 'java -version' failed. Error: Command failed: Error: opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'
Error: could not find java.dll Error: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.

I checked all the java path in system and looks its correct.

After research, I got solution for this issue. First uninstall all java in control panel and reinstall with latest version.

Answer 3

Your JDK installation is broken, could be a lot of things:

• Probably you have x64 JDK, but in your Windows\System32 folder you have old java x32 java.exe, javaw.exe, javaws.exe, javap.exe and javac.exe You should delete them.

If not solved:

• delete Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment keys from registry

In any case after these steps you will need to reinstall JDK
