title: jmeter wont run !Not able to find Java executable or version. Please check your Java installation"
body: <p>I installed java from the offical java download page <a href="https://java.com/en/download/win10.jsp" rel="noreferrer">https://java.com/en/download/win10.jsp</a></p>
  
  <p>It installed what appears to be a 32bit on my 64 bit system, which I can only guess is OK, as it did not present any other options.</p>
  
  <p>I edited my system environtment variables, and added JAVA_HOME and added %JAVA_HOME%\bin to my "user variables" Path definition.</p>
  
  <p>typing "set" in a cmd window produces:</p>
  
  <pre><code>JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_151
  :
  Path=C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client\;C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client\;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;.....C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_151\bin;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>At the command prompt, "java -version" </p>
  
  <p>produces:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java version "1.8.0_151"
  Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-b12)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I try to launch jmeter.bat, I get:</p>
  
  <p>jmeter wont run !Not able to find Java executable or version. Please check your Java installation"</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
