Answer 1

My JDK is installed at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144\.
I had set JAVA_HOME= C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144\, and I was getting this error:

The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program
NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE

When I changed the JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144\jre, the issue got fixed.
I am not sure how.
