I checked my environment variables - JAVA_HOME & PATH and they all refer to C:java. So this was bit frustrating. After sometime I found that the default installation also copied java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe to C:WindowsSystem32 (i.e. uninstall of JRE didn't go well). I just removed them and voila, I'm back on track. That annoying error is no longer popping.

This works for me

So, If exists, remove java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe from System32

put %JAVA_HOME%bin at the begin of PATH.

I had the same problem: I have a 64 bit Windows and when I typed "java -version" in CMD-Console i received the same Error message.
Try to start a 64bit-cmd(C:WindowsSysWOW64cmd.exe) and you will see, it works there ;)

If this was working before, it means the PATH isn't correct anymore.

That can happen when the PATH becomes too long and gets truncated.

All posts (like this one) suggest updating the PATH, which you can test first in a separate DOS session, by setting a minimal path and see if java works again there.

Finally the OP Highland Mark concludes:

Finally fixed by uninstalling java, removing all references to it from the registry, and then re-installing.

scary ;)

I thought I will share how I resolved the same issue "Error Could not open libamd64jvm.cfg". I found the Java run time Jre7 is missing amd64 folder under lib. However, I have 1.7.0_25 JDK which is having jre folder and also having amd64.

I moved the original contents of jre7 folder to a backup file and copied everything from 1.7.0_25jre.

Now I am not getting this error anymore and able to proceed with scene builder.

The Java 7 install on my work PC broke after a patch was forced out to us, giving this error any time you tried to run a Java program. Somehow the entire 'lib' subdirectory of the Java 7 install vanished! Might have been related to having both Java 6 and Java 7 installed -- the 'jre6' directory still had everything there.

In any case, I fixed it by uninstalling both Java 6 and Java 7 and reinstalling just Java 7. But if the file it's complaining about is actually there, then you're likely having a path issue as described in some of the other answers here.

Had suddenly the same Problem, from one day to another eclipse said

Failed to load the JNI shared library "C:/JDK/bin/client/jvm.dll"`.

after trying to run java on the console

Error: could not open `C:WINDOWSjrelibamd64jvm.cfg' 

now i just deleted the whole directory

C:WINDOWSjre

and everything worked again... i don't know there this jre came from, i hope it was not a virus

I had the same problem in Eclipse and I fixed it by changing the JRE from 64 bit to 32 bit:

Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs > Add... > Next > Directory > select "C:Program Files (x86)Javajre1.8.0_65" instead of "C:Program FilesJavajre1.8.0_60"

C:ProgramDataOracleJavajavapath worked for me .. , I have took back up of the files and removed the files in it.Opened new cmd prompt and then .. tested and works like charm

• I had a similar problem (trying to start a Jenkins slave agent on Windows) on Windows 2008R2, Java 1.7.0_15



• 
  

  I had two situations that contributed to the problem and that changing both of them fixed it:

  
  
  

  1) Installing Java in a unix-compatible path (changing from c:Program Files... to c:Software...); I don't think this directly affected the problem described in this thread, but noting the change;

  
  
  

  2) Running Java not through a shortcut. It originally failed with a shortcut, but re-running from the direct executable (C:SoftwareJava...binjava) worked.

  
  

Reinstalling java didn't help me. But the trick to put the JAVA_HOME variable at the beginning of the env-vars. The problem occoured after an upgrade from jdk1.7.0_11 to jdk1.7.0_13

Another workaround is using shortpath in windows:

1. open windows command console using cmd.exe


2. goto c:
   


3. type command> dir program* /x
   


4. it should display as short path like: PROGRA~2
   


5. so C:PROGRA~2 is same as C:Program Files (x86)
   


6. in your JAVA_HOME replace path to :
   C:PROGRA~2Javajre7
   

This should work in windows 64 environment as it worked for me in win7 64bit version.

I have changed the java installation path from c:Program Files (x86)java to another folder like c:javajdk1.7 and updated the %Java_HOME% and path values accordingly,it worked.

example

%JAVA_HOME% = C:javaJDK1.7



path-C:javaJDK1.7bin; 

I had this problem after updating your java. The best way to solve this problem is just go to your c:/ProgramFiles/Java folder. There you will find two jre folders one is as jre.your version and other with exactly like jdk folder. Try to remove jre.1.your version folder. There you go your problem is solved. Hope this might help. It's worked for me.

Typically it because of upgrading JRE.

It changes symlinks into C:ProgramDataOracleJavajavapath

Intall JDK - it will fix this.

Error: could not open `C:Program FilesJavajre6libamd64jvm.cfg'

Looking @ it the issue of post install script is there and getting propagated since I am using update jdk8 1.8.0_191 since issue occurred with me after installing update of java and which was happened automatically.

Error: could not open `C:Program FilesJavajre1.8.0_191libamd64jvm.cfg'

This will be never ending in this case and need to do workaround like changing path's manually.

It wasn't in the path. Finally fixed by uninstalling java, removing all references to it from the registry, and then re-installing. None the wiser, but back working again. Thanks all @Highland Mark- Can you tell me the process to removing references from registry. I tried all possible way people mentioned here, nothing worked.
