Running Java gives “Error: could not open `C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\amd64\jvm.cfg'”

by

I checked my environment variables – JAVA_HOME & PATH and they all refer to C:\java. So this was bit frustrating. After sometime I found that the default installation also copied java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe to C:\Windows\System32 (i.e. uninstall of JRE didn’t go well). I just removed them and voila, I’m back on track. That annoying error is no longer popping.

This works for me

So, If exists, remove java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe from System32
