PS: This is a different problem. But the one I am facing does not have any such issue. I have JRE in my path variable and JDK in JAVA_HOME.(attached the screenshots)

you can also add JDK to your system variables and point it to the JRE folder (do not point it to BIN folder)

Your %JAVA_HOME% variable should point to the directory of Java installation. Here's what you can do to fix it.

  1. Set %JAVA_HOME% to C:\Java\jre1.8.0_45\
  2. Add %JAVA_HOME%\bin to your %PATH% variable
