My System:- Windows 8.1

I recently installed Oracle 11g XE and I received the mentioned error message when accessed "java" command at command prompt.

I checked my environment variables, checked the sequence (as mentioned by previous replies) and detected that my system PATH variable had following entry as first entry:
