title: Oracle SQL Developer: Unable to find a JVM
body: <p>I'm trying to open Oracle SQL Developer on my Windows7 64-bit.</p>
  
  <p>When I tried to open SQL Developer it asked for java.exe path and I gave C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_34\jre\bin\java.exe</p>
  
  <p>I got an error from Oracle SQL Developer saying: Unable to find a Java Virtual Machine. To point to a location of a JVM. Please refer to oracle9i jdeveloper install guide (jdev install.html)</p>

  <p>Any clue on how to fix this?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Another Solution:</strong></p>
  
  <p>This worked for me several times. Install JDK7 and point to location of jdk7\jre\bin\java.exe</p>
