Teradata Studio Installation Failed with “64bit Java Runtime Environment X.X or above is required. Please provide the required JRE path”

Problem:

During Teradata Studio Installation the installer could not find any JRE and after showing the JRE path its showing following Error:

“64bit Java Runtime Environment X.X or above is required. Please provide the required JRE path”

Solution:

Check your java is 32 bit or 64 bit. The error you can see if you are trying to install Teradata Studio on 32 bit Java.

Example:

H:\>java -version

java version "1.8.0_112"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_112-b15)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.112-b15, mixed mode, sharing)

The output will tell you whether you are running a 32-bit or 64-bit VM HotSpot. An 32-bit JVM will tell it is a “Client VM” and a 64-bit JVM will output it is a “64-bit Server VM”

H:\>java -d32 -version

java version "1.8.0_112"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_112-b15)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.112-b15, mixed mode)

The output will give an error message that your Java instance does not support 32-bit JVM if you are running a 64-bit JVM.

H:\>java -d64 -version

Error: This Java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM.

Please install the desired version.

The output will give an error message that your Java instance does not support 64-bit JVM if you are running a 32-bit JVM.
