Android Studio Error: CreateProcess Error = 216

[rajumhvsn]

We are a rookie team and I am helping a new student in my team to setup Android studio and I am getting the following error:

"Error: CreateProcess Error = 216. This version of 1% is not compatible with the operating system.Check your computer system's information if you have a 32 bit or 64 bit version."

Below is the system details:

These are the versions of jdk , Android studio and ftp-app.
• jdk-8u101-windows-i586.exe
• android-studio-bundle-145.3276617-windows.exe
• ftc_app-master.zip

My system configuration
Windows 7 Enterprise, 32 Bit operating system

Error Message

Error:CreateProcess error=216, This version of %1 is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need a x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher


Has anybody come across this issue? Need some help. Thanks

I don't have access to post in that forum yet. Hence posted the question in this forum.

Are you sure you have a 32-bit Win7? It is kind of rare with newer computers nowadays. According to your info, the JDK you downloaded was 32-bit so that's fine. But the Android Studio does not have different packages for 32-bit and 64-bit so I assume it can do both. You need to determine which program put out that error message? The %1 in the message seems to be the program name but for some reason it did not show up. Another possibility is some sort of DLL confusion meaning there was a different version of a similar program installed that confused Android Studio. For example, have you installed a different version of the JDK before? If you accidentally installed a 64-bit JDK before, it will stick around even though you later installed a 32-bit JDK. Take a look at the folder c:\Program Files\java. What folders do you see there?
