I am trying to install SQL developer in my windows 7 64 bit machine. It is asking for the java path when clickin the sqldeveloper.exe. I am giving the path of java as C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin where i have java application file available. but i am getting cannot find a j2se SDK installed in the above path error. Please help

Cannot find a J2SE SDK installed at path C:\Program Files\Java\jre6

Hi,
I am trying to install the latest version of SQL Developer 3.0 on my brand new Windows7(64-bit) computer. I already installed the Java SDK6 (Update26). Unfortunatelly I am forcing some problems.
When I start the sqldeveloper.exe for installing - at the beginning when I browse and select the java.exe an error comes up:
Cannot find a J2SE SDK installed at path C:\Program Files\Java\jre6
Why isn't it working?
Can you help me? Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

That's because you are trying to run SQLDeveloper with a JRE not a JDK.
Since you already installed a JDK you should have a folder labeled
jdk1.6.0_26in your C:\Program Files\Java directory.
If you cant find the proper JDK in your system the 64 bit version for windows can be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u26-b03/jdk-6u26-windows-x64.exe

Installation error: Cannot find a J2SE SDK installed at path C:\Program Fi

I am installing latest version of SQL Developer, Release 1.2. I have Sun Java 2 Standard Edition Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_10-b03). When I browse and select the java.exe found it comes up with error: Cannot find a J2SE SDK installed at patch
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10
I am installing the version I downloaded for Windows systems with JDK1.5.
I have tried on two different machines.
Any ideas?

This is going to seem loooong, but comprehensive.
I'd initially always suggest using the bundled
package, since that's supposed to be a tested and
proven combination.You know what, I'm gonna be mighty surprised if you're implying that Oracle hasn't 'tested and proven' the releases at http://www.oracle.com./technology/software/products/sql/index.html other than the first 77 MB download labeled Oracle SQL Developer for Windows... :)
After having problems with a graphics card for
example, installing the latest JDK might be
indicated.Huh?!? Not a clue what you're talkin' 'bout! :S
It's also easy for users who don't know which Java
version to download, or even where to find it! You
guys have proven that: although it's stated you need
.First of all, it says right there on the download page (http://www.oracle.com./technology/software/products/sql/index.html) that:
"JDK 1.5 (JDK 5.0) is required. This is the minimum JDK version required"
And we've "proven that [..] although it's stated you need the JDK, [we]'ve tried running with the JRE" and have NOT been able to run the application. It just presents the user a dialog box to locate the 'SDK' manually and exits gracefully if you try to dismiss it. So, conclusively proven, the JDK (or as SQL Developer puts it, Java SDK) is required- QED.
And given users might have several versions running
on the same machine (I have half a dozen), sqldev
could easily pick up a wrong version.And every JRE installation (atleast all of Sun's) make sure they update the default (via PATH and other required system variables) JRE point to the latest one installed. So if you have anything 1.5+ you're good to go; if not, you've got an incompatile JRE. Doesn't sound that hard to me!
As for being bulky, even without the bundled JDK, it
still is.Ya missed the point. Developers are making Java applications bulkier by including the JRE/JDK with their distributions. A SQL Developer release sans JDK is about 46 MB; with JDK that climbs to 77 MB (sizes quoted from download page linked above).
Imagine what happens when you have, besides SQL Developer (JDK 1.5 included), some-cool-java-app that also includes the JRE/JDK it was built on; and then another-java-app that also includes a JRE/JDK... I bet JDeveloper also comes with a JDK bundled in. So, now you have FOUR copies of JRE/JDK (aside from the "have half a dozen" that probably installed themselves via Java Update Checker)!
Here's the big picture, the savings in disk space would only be the beginning of your benefits. Here's a few others:
- Class Data Sharing (http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/vm/class-data-sharing.html) introduced in Java SE 5.0 provides for storing definitions of commonly used classes in a representation closer to machine code, even closer than bytecode, this reducing load and startup time. Plus all VM's launced using that particular distribution get to share the cache- Performace+ !!
Running each app offa' it's own VM just causes multiple caches to be loaded. You just multiplied your losses! :(
- Sun is currently working on a way to have applications simply inject into a running JVM. That way, there is no load and startup time for the JVM, just the time to load you app classes. Using different distros would completely defeat this!
(The reason why this feature isn't out yet is because they're still trying to make it possible to specify hitherto VM configurations like security and logging as application configurations. Then there's also the issue of setting up class loading boundaries between applications.
You say you don't have to bring over the VB runtime
for each app? I remember in the 90's doing it all the
time. Of course, being MS, now that's not necessary
anymore, since it's "magical" Windows. I don't have
any machine from Sun, but for sure they've got Java
bundled with it, right?I don't believe you had to do that since VB 5; and that's because MS realized that they messed up on this very point upto then! Sun worked the simple solution to that into their deployment strategy- install only ONE runtime and run all apps off that. As for you're half-a-dozen, I think you can safely uninstall the five older versions; because, even today, people are running apps developed using JDK1.1 on Java SE 6.0!
Again, I find the most logical difference between JRE
and JDK being the debugger. As you say it yourself:
JRE for end-users, who don't need to do any
debugging.
Now, sqldev is not just a table browser, but also for
debugging PL/SQL. 1 + 1 = 2.I think it's a little naive to differentiate between the JRE and JDK on just the debugger! Aside from the obvious inclusion of a compiler, the JDK has several other tools for monitoring/managing the heap, threads and logging on the fly. There's also the Doclet API and Sun's javadoc implementation, dev interfaces for instrumenting the VM, native interfaces, ...
And I reiterate, we're talkin' PL/SQL developers here. Why would I want to give a PL/SQL developer a Java Development Kit?!? ;|
Nevertheless, as said in the other thread, if the
team discloses how to circumvent the SDK check at
startup, you can go ahead and use the JRE. In any
case, you'd have to agree that won't work as
out-of-the-box solution...You're right, it won't work like a standard Windows OOTB app. But, it WILL work as a Java OOTB that only mandates that there be a JRE available; just like the scores of Java apps out there- from tiny little Pong clones to large IDE's like NetBeans.
BTW, don't even think about quoting Websphere/Rational/Eclipse as counter-arguments. They are the biggest offenders as far as this issue goes. And jikes is an abomination, a curse Sun must carry as a result to opening the VM Spec. But, I digress...

Cannot find a J2SE SDK installed at path...

I posted this in the SQL-Deveolper forum, but perhaps it is better posted here, since it is a Java issue.
I found a thread for this same problem from 2007, but did not find an answer for it.
I'm installing sql-developer on a Windows7 machine 64bit. When I go to run the exe, I get the popup:
"Cannot find a J2SE SDK installed at path: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7."I've downloaded and installed a couple of jdk's to fix this:
jdk-6u37-windows-x64.exe
jdk-7u9-windows-x64.exe
These did not work.
Can anyone tell me what I need to download to get this to work and where I can find it?
Thanks,

I realized we have another wiindows machine that runs sql-developer just fine. I copied the jdk-6u25-windows-x64.exe from that machine and installed on the newer one. The install complained that a new version of java was already installed. But, the older version works where the newer one did not - does not.
So I'm good. But it would be nice to know why the new versions do not include all the foo that seems to make sql-developer work.

When SDDM x64 says "Cannot find a J2SE SDK installed at ..." what is it actually looking for?

First of all,please forgive me if this question has been answered before, but search facilities in this new forum are even more rubbish than the old one, which is an achievement I wouldn't have thought possible.
Anyhoo.
I have downloaded the 64-bit version of Data Modeller, which comes without the JRE.
I have installed JDK1.3.0.21. I have subsequently also downloaded and installed JRE 1.7u21. However when I run datamodellerx64.exe for the first time it hurls with this message: "Cannot find a J2SE SDK installed at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\bin". It also doesn't like C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin (under the JDK install) or .C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin (the JRE install)
So what path does it actually want?
I suppose I could download and install the 32-bit version with the inbuilt JRE but that would be a pretty sorry workaround.
Cheers, APC
Message was edited by: APC - just realised I had typed "with the JRE" instead of "without", which is actually the entire source of the issue. Doh!

The first time you start up Data Modeler, it should prompt for the Java home. You should select the java.exe file within the jre\bin folder of a Java JDK.
Thanks! This was the bit which was confusing me. What I needed was C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\jre\bin\java.exe
Of course, then I get a message telling me that versions above 1.6 are not certified, but I'm not installing a monstrous rootkit on my new laptop simply to run SDDM, so I guess I'll just rub along without the certification. It seems to start up just fine.
Cheers, APC

[RESOLVED] Cannot find a J2SE SDK installed at path: C:\java16

I have SQL Developer 3.0.04.34 in C:\apps\sqldeveloper\ and the 32-bit 1.6 JDK in C:\java16\. SQL Developer was working properly until this morning after I updated my JRE (C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\) from 1.5 to 1.6 and JDK (C:\java16\) from 1.6.something to 1.6.26. Now SQL Dev prompts me again for the path to java.exe, but when I specify C:\java16\bin\java.exe, it gives me the error shown in the thread title. The existing sqldeveloper.conf shows "SetJavaHome C:\java16". I found other threads that mention this error, but the problem is typically pointing to the JRE instead of JDK (C:\java16\ is the JDK in my case) or 32-bit vs. 64-bit (this is 32-bit JDK in XP x86). What else might cause the error? I'd rather not reinstall the SQL Developer package that includes the JDK since I already have the JDK elsewhere and it was working before.
EDIT: Never mind. Something must have gone wrong when I was updating the JRE and JDK. I reinstalled the JDK, and now SQL Developer starts.

When i start sqldeveloper.exe (there no exe with a 64 in the name) there ist a dialog that wants to know the path to the JRE.
I tried to chose the directory i placed the Java 7 JDK.
Tried the bin folder in that.
Tried the jre folder and the bin folder in jre.
Everytime i do this ther is the message "cannot find java se sdk installation".
Maybe i am doing it wrong.
What i did:
Downloaded jdk-7u45-windows-x64.exe from oracle.com
Downloaded sqldeveloper-4.0.0.12.84-no-jre.zip from oracle.com
Unzipped sqldeveloper-4.0.0.12.84-no-jre.zip to directory
Opened jdk-7u45-windows-x64.exe with 7zip, there opened tools.zip, unzipped tools.zip to a directory
Started sqldeveloper.exe from software directory and tried to find the JRE... diddn't work
Maybe sqldeveloper.exe ist looking for 32 bit Java?
Update:
Downloaded jdk-7u45-windows-i586.exe from oracle.com
Opened jdk-7u45-windows-i586.exe, there opened tools.zip, unzipped tools.zip to a directory
Started sqldeveloper.exe from software directory and tried to find the JRE... diddn't work
Doesn't look like its working this way.
I would realy be very happy to have the new SQL Developer packaged with JAVA again - thats the sollution i am looking for.

Problem with wrt54gl Cannot find server or DNS Error

Hello,
I am having problem with wrt54gl roouter. I have windows 2K professional that connected trough the wire. The browser (and other tools) is periodically loosing connection for around 30-60 seconds showing "Cannot find server or DNS Error". after refreshes it comes back. If I connect PC directly to internet without router I never have a problem. I have put statical resolution of dns servers(3 of them) and ip does not help. I switch between ports on pc and router site, change the cable, remove antivirus, put latest windows updates, use different browsers. Disable anable 2d network card (2 on mother board).
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi… Login to the setup page of the router and reduce the MTU to 1365. Upgrade or re-flash the firmware if needed.

Problem installing EZDrummer -- "cannot find soundfiles"

Hi
I've just installed EZdrummer, but on opening it up in Logic I'm getting:
"EZdrummer cannot find the soundfiles. Re-install EZdrummer or move the sounds to
/Volume/Mac/EZDrummer/Sounds"
I've tried re-installing but the same thing happens.
Also, I can't install the "Soundmover" (just getting an error installing message)-- could this be the problem?
Help would be appreciated!

Before anything else, log in (and/or register) at the [Toontrack|http://www.toontrack.com/my_products.asp] site and download the latest version (1.2) of EZD. As you have no idea how long the disks you just bought have been sitting on the shelf, the chances are that the version on the disks is out of date.
Also, I can't install the "Soundmover" (just getting an error installing message)-- could this be the problem?
You don't need that initially, and it isn't 'installed' it's just placed in /Applications/Toontrack in case you want to move the sound library later - to another disk, for example.

Problem installing Leopard - Cannot find 10.4.

Hi there, I purchased my Macbook Pro in Nov 2007 and inside the box was an upgrade disc to Leopard. I've been getting on fine with 10.4.11, but got Call of Duty 4 for Christmas and am now having to upgrade to Leopard. The Installation disc restarts my machine, I select "English" as my preferred language, then it says it cannot find 10.4 on my machine.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks in advance, and Merry Christmas!

Cannot find a J2SE ADK instlled at path

Hi I have installed oracle 11g release 2 (32 bit) on Windows 2007.
As soon as I try to open SQL developer, it ask me for the java path. I have installed Java1.6.0_16 on my machine. So I give E:\javaInstalled\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin\java as java path. But even though it is giving me following error.
Cannot find a J2SE ADK instlled at path
E:\javaInstalled\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin\java.
Could you please help me resolving this?
Regards

This is a bit surprising as the SQLDeveloper which comes with the database install includes the JDK.
Is the java installation 32 bit or 64 bit? The bittage of the the JDK must match the bittage of SQL Developer.
Try editing <sqldev>\sqldevloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf and adding
SetJavaHome E:\javaInstalled\Java\jdk1.6.0_16replacing any existing SetJavaHome there.

I bought a series pass and unfortunately epsiode 1 didn't download at all. I was watching the downloads and restarting once they stopped as I allow multiple downloads at athe same time

It sounds like you may have hidden it, in which case you should be able to unhide it : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. (You can't turn off the hiding of items.)
But you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your downloads and not relying on being able to redownload them - any item could be removed from the store by the rights-holders at any time, if they do then you won't be able to redownload them (nor will be able to do redownload items if you move countries).

Windows 7 Backup "The System cannot find the path specified" - Error Code 0x80070003

I'm having severe problems backing up my own machine to a share on our
FILE-SERVER as \\FILE-SERVER\Backup\
I have already backed up another PC successfully using exactly the same settings I have used on my own PC. So I presume it is nothing to do with the
FILE-SERVER or the Backup settings. It has to be something to do with what I'm trying to backup from my machine.
First some background.
This exercise all began when the Windows Server 2008 r2
O/S fell over on one of our Servers. I tried reinstalling the O/S several times, without success. In the end I grabbed another drive and re-built the O/S. I then had problems promoting it to a Domain Controller on the network.
In the end I renamed the Server from FILESERVER
to FILE-SERVER.
We routinely share four folders on what is now
FILE-SERVER:
\\FILE-SERVER\Backup
- a Folder where backups from all other machines are written, so that they will be backed up with the Server
\\FILE-SERVER\Company
- holds all our Company data
\\FILE-SERVER\GEM
- this is the application folder for our own database
\\FILE-SERVER\Install
- holds all Install files for the software we use
These are all held on a RAID 1 Array that is separate from the System Disk that fell over.
Prior to the Server falling over, I had Backup working fine on my machine.
On my Notebook PC I had made these shared folders 'Available Offline', so that I still had everything available to me when I was out of the office. They were
of course shared as \\FILESERVER\... not \\FILE-SERVER\...
Having got the Server up and going again, I began to get the Backups from the Windows 7 Client PC's going again.
I started with a Desktop, which of course did not have any Offline Files.
That proved relatively straight-forward.
I then started with my machine. Initially I did not make the above shared folders 'Available Offline'. I set up my Backup using exactly the same settings that
had worked OK on the desktop machine. But when I ran the backup I got:
The System cannot find the path specified, Error Code 0x80070003
I tried all sorts of things to get it to work:
I restored the system to the earliest point possible,
I ran chkdsk,
I defragged the drive
All to no avail, so I tried backing up:
with and without a system image,
reducing the backup to a single folder,
a single Folder with only one .txt file in it,
making the Folders 'Available Offline' again.
Nothing made any difference.
In the end I looked in the Sync Center to look at the Offline Files Folder.
Under Mapped Network Drives I discovered I still had the Files and Folders from
\\FILESERVER. In their Shortcut Menu 'Always Available Offline' was greyed out. So I deleted the Offline Copies. This deleted the Files in the Folders but not the Folders.
Since I could find no way of deleting the old Mapped Network Drives, I decided I'd painted myself into a corner by renaming the Server.
So I bit the bullet and re-installed my Notebook too. This did get rid of the unwanted old Mapped Network Drives - BUT NOT THE ERROR!!
I’ve been through all the troubleshooting procedures in:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/629597bb-7be0-455c-b81e-a149472d3f9b/windows-7-backup-the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified-error-0x80070003?forum=w7itprogeneral
Method 1
It had none of the symptoms reported in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973455
but I scanned for ‘reparse’ points anyway. Found several “Junction Points” but none that were “Mounted Volumes”, just ordinary ‘File Folders’.
Method 2
Check a drive for errors.
Looked at:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
Checked
both boxes. I closed machine down, to check for errors when it re-started.
It didn’t seem to find anything.
I say seem, because I did not actually see it finishing checking the empty space, but stages 1-4 found no problems and Windows 7 restarted normally.
It did detect 66 ‘Reparse’ Points, which is more than it found when I scanned for them earlier.
Method 3
Yes, I am an administrator or my own machine and, as such, I have ‘Full Access’.
I downloaded an ran the Process Monitor, filtering for Process Name “Wbengine.exe”, but did dot get a single event.
So I’m not sure what’s going on.
HELP - I'm out of ideas!
I have a WORD Document that documents all the Settings I've used on both the Server and the Clients, together with the reasoning behind those settings, but
I cannot find a way of uploading it.

I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
"Restore" functions, not the
"Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
The 3 backup problems are:
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
some recent Windows update. Thanks.

Apply trace on RAS and look for errors in the RAS logs at the same timestamp.
These errors come for various errors and tracing RAS would give us a better idea.
It might hapen that you observe these errors for reports which takes more than the RAS timeout to export the reports.
Post getting the RAS logs you can try below steps if we see timeout errors in RAS logs.
Copy clientSDKOptions.xml file from <BO install path>\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\lib to the machine where your app is running Open clientSDKOptions.xml and change CORBARequestTimeOut from 600000 to a value large enough to allow the report to render, for instance 1200000. Default value is 600000 (10 minutes)
Specify the location of the clientSDKOptions.xml file at run-time. In your JSP or Java files, use the Java method setProperty from the System class. Set the system property indicated by the ras.config key to the specified directory as: system.setProperty("ras.config","c:\temp"). This function call specifies that the clientSDKOptions.xml file in c:\temp is to be used for locating RAS servers.
Thanks,

TOC - Receiving a "Cannot find the file named" error when pressing Ctrl+alt

When I generate a TOC, it comes out beautifully. However, when I press control + alt to check my links, I receive a "cannot find the file named" error message. This happens for the majority of the links. All of the files are present along with the graphics. Everything is in the same folder. They are saved on our network. However, I have packaged and copied the files to my desktop to see if that makes a difference. I am still receiving the same error message.
Has anyone seen this before? Any solutions in Adobe world? All help is appreciated.

>>> ... avoid using & in your document titles.
>> By that do you mean in your file names?
> Yes. That's correct.
That's not at all surprising. & is commonly found on lists of random "characters to avoid in directory and file names".
A comprehensive list of such characters might be impossible to assemble. Even though FM only runs on Windows these days, it could be in a VM on another OS (with its own restrictions, e.g. Mac), using a CMS (with its own restrictions) and working with virtual directories actually located on completely different operating systems (with their own restrictions, e.g. Unix, Linux/Samba, random cloud).
And then there are naming issues in the FM app itself (and other Adobe apps that might need to process the files, like Distiller), which apparently is the case for the comma problem (it may only pop up during render to PDF).
