The system cannot find the file C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe

Question

I have installed Java 8 on my PC and programs are getting compiled.

When i try to execute it using cmd prompt it is showing me the following error:

"The system cannot find the file C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe."

Please help me.

Is there really a folder named javapath in your C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java folder? — Jonny Henly

There is on my PC. I guess this must be a new thing - Not like the good old days of "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_20\bin" — Adamski

@Adamski Huh? That's odd, I'll have to make note of that. When I read it, it seems redundant or misplaced, like it should be C:\ProgramData\Oracle\javapath\Java. And why not C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\pathtojava? — Jonny Henly

Sounds like your JRE installation is broken. Try reinstalling the JRE and/or the Java plugin. — Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen

Try checking your PATH environment variable to ensure it includes: C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
