Registry key Error: Java version has value '1.8', but '1.7' is required

Question

While running

sencha app build production

I am getting the following error:

Error: Registry key \'Software\\JavaSof

Answer 1

One possible solution to this problem is to add at Sencha CMD folder a bat file as sugested at this thread Sencha Cmd 5 + Java 8 Error.

The batch will have the name "sencha.bat" with this code:

@echo off
set JAVA_HOME=
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
set SENCHA_HOME=%~dp0
java -jar "%SENCHA_HOME%\sencha.jar" %*

Place it at sencha folder, in my case is

C:\Users\\bin\Sencha\Architect\Cmd\6.2.0.103

The following step is to change PATHEXT enviroment varible. Change at user variables to have the least impact possible.

I change from

COM;.CMD;.EXE;.BAT;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC

to

COM;.BAT;.EXE;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC

The idea is to make windows run .bat files first than .exe files. This is important because in sencha folder there is already an "sencha.exe" file. And in the command line if you type "sencha" it will execute "sencha.exe" instead of "sencha.bat".

This was the only solution that worked for because I'm very restricted when it comes to permissions.
