Bad Installation: Error Invoking Java VM

I’m not sure if this is a known error with Java Web Start but if you are having a problem with Java Web Start, you should reinstall JRE or Java Runtime Environment or update to the latest version. The reason why you should reinstall or update Java Runtime Environment is because Java Web Start is included as part of JRE.

This means, when you install JRE, you will also get Java Web Start installed automatically on your computer. So, if Java Web Start is not working, reinstalling JRE or updating it should fix the problem. If your JRE is the latest, try to reinstall it. Download the free version of Revo Uninstaller and install it.

Once installed, start Revo Uninstaller then select your Java Runtime Environment among the applications and click “Uninstall”. Follow the normal uninstall process. When uninstall is complete, click “Scan” to scan your computer for any leftover files and delete everything it finds. This removes everything the program created on your computer. When it is finished, close Revo Uninstaller then install JRE back. See if this works.

If this doesn’t work, download and update to the latest Java Runtime Environment. Download Java SE Runtime Environment 9 or visit Java SE Downloads to see the list of available Java Runtime Environments. Java Runtime Environment 9 is available only to 64-bit Microsoft Windows. If you need a 32-bit version, download Java SE Runtime Environment 8.

This version is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows. This should fix the problem.
