Problem launching SQL Developer

891932Oct 2 2011 — edited Oct 2 2011
Hi guys

I'm having this problem:

I am on WindowsServer 8 Standard x64. I must connect to a remote Oracle DataBase.

I installed:
jdk-6u25-windows-x64
win64_11gR2_client

When I try to start my SQL Developer I get these errors:

First of all sqldeveloper.bat file is not present in sqldeveloper/bin directory.
The second problem is when you try to run sqldeveloper.exe it can't find Java by itself (but JAVA_HOME system variable is set).
And after you put correct path in the dialog window SQLDeveloper has shown you see the following error message:

Oracle SQL Developer
Unable to find a Java Virtual Machine.
To point to a location of a Java Virtual Machine, please refer to the
Oracle9i JDeveloper Install Guide (jdev\install.html).
OK

After a few tries I get this error, stating it cant find no VM.

WARNING: Could not find jvm.cfg! in 'D:\apps\java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre\lib\jvm.cfg'
WARNING: Could not find jvm.cfg! in 'D:\apps\java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre\lib\jvm.cfg'
WARNING: Cannot find default VM "client" at D:\apps\java\jdk1.6.0_25
ERROR: Cannot find VM at: D:\apps\java\jdk1.6.0_25
Aborting!

This is some of what I've tried:
Deleting SetJavaHome D:\apps\java\jdk1.6.0_25 from sqldeveloper.conf
Adding JAVA_HOME = D:\apps\java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin
setting PATH = D:\apps\java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin
browsing to java.exe in the jdk software

My java version
C:\Users\xxxxxxx>java -version
java version "1.6.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_25-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode)


I've also and tried from the forums for these advices, but to no avail:
2146564
2220248

So basically, everything is x64 and I'm pointing to jdk NOT jre:
64bit OS
64bit jdk
64bit Ora Client

Tried setting environment paths to jdk - nothing
tried clearing path in sqldeveloper.conf - nothing

Any ideas? Pointers? Suggestions?
Should I try x86 versions instead?
