I have installed Oracle soa suite quickstart 12c (12.2.1.4.0) in windows 7. The java version i'm using is jdk1.8.0_241.

After creating a standalone domain, when i tried to start the weblogic server using startWeblogic.cmd I got the following error.

The JRE was not found in directory C:\Program Files\Java\JDK18~1.0_2 <JAVA_HOME>
Please edit your environment and set the JAVA_HOME variable to the root directory of your Java installation.

Link to my cmd window

I have set the JAVA_HOME variable in my environment as follows

JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_241

Please suggest solutions to fix this issue.

You should set JDK path in 'setDomainEnv.cmd' file.

  1. Open 'setDomainEnv.cmd' file.

    (File path in my local PC is 'C:\oracle\mw\wls\dom_01\bin')

  2. Update the 'BEA_JAVA_HOME' path to your JDK home path.

    (Ex: set BEA_JAVA_HOME=C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jdk1.8.0_171)

NOTE: To find the directory short path in Windows, use dir /x in command prompt.

I resolved it by following below steps.

First ,this error is caused by space in java installation directory (as in C:**Program Files**\Java\jdk1.8.0_241)

To overcome this you need to use quotes to set JAVA_HOME in some files in your Oracle home.

Few file where you need to check

oracle_home/middleware/oui/bin/launch.cmd
oracle_home/middleware/oui/bin/viewInventory.cmd
oracle_home/middleware/oui/bin/compareInventory.cmd
oracle_home/middleware/oui/bin/setProperty.cmd
oracle_home/middleware/oui/.globalEnv.properties
oracle_home/middleware/user_projects/domains/wls_domain/bin/setDomainEnv.cmd
oracle_home/middleware/user_projects/domains/wls_domain/bin/setNMJavaHome.cmd
oracle_home/middleware/user_projects/domains/wls_domain/init-info/domain-info.xml
oracle_home/middleware/user_projects/domains/wls_domain/init-info/startscript.xml
oracle_home/middleware/user_projects/domains/wls_domain/init-info/tokenValue.properties
oracle_home/middleware/user_projects/domains/wls_domain/init-`info/nodemanager-properties.xml
oracle_home/middleware/user_projects/domains/wls_domain/nodemanager/nodemanager.properties

In the above files if you find any lines like 


set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_241 

if NOT exist %JAVA_HOME%\lib

set JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_HOME%

set JAVA_HOME=%%~fsi

Modify them to below format with quotes and save them.

set "JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_241" 

if NOT exist "%JAVA_HOME%\lib"

set "JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_HOME%"

set "JAVA_HOME=%%~fsi"

`````

Now your system will recognize the java home without trouble
