IntelliJ - Can't start - “JAVA_HOME does not point to a valid JVM installation”

Question

For every other StackOverflow question that\'s been asked about this, here, here, and here, I\'ve followed all the steps to resolve this issue, and none have worked.

Answer 1

The java and javac executables are using the PATH environment variable, while intelliJ is using JAVA_HOME variable. Remove the additional quotation marks in your JAVA_HOME value.

It might shows that your path to the jdk installation directory is hard coded in the PATH, rather then using %JAVA_HOME%.
