I've had the same problem. Simple solution that worked for me is to rearrange the entries in the PATH for JRE/JDK. This problem started to appear after installing JRE 8 whose installation has put some executable files in System32 or SysWOW64 directories, these executable files are messing up. To resolve the problem:

1. Create environment variable pointing to JDK home as JAVA_HOME.

   set JAVA_HOME=C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.8.0_45

2. Put the entry %JAVA_HOME%\bin at start in your PATH environment variable. Appending existing value of PATH. For example:

   path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin;%path%
