Unable to launch application "javaws"

I am unable to launch "javaws -viewer". I am on "Windows10" and when I type the below command in Run window, I get an error message. Please find the screenshot for the same below.

javaws –viewer

javaws viewer

Clicking on Details, I see the following trace. Any help would be appreciated.

Additional Details:

(Note: Restarted command prompt multiple times after setting the environment variables. Not sure if the original issue is tied up with this one).

The oracle installer puts a directory (C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath) with links to the installation in front of the path. Check your path variable and check whether you have multiple java executables on the path with "where java".
