We can also use this command to find Java locations, specifically when we have multiple Java executables on one machine. This command is time-consuming compared to the other commands given in this tutorial because it displays the current locations of all the folders & sub-folders. Use dir /b /s java.exe to Find Java Location In the following program, we are trying to access the value of, a Java location path. This method takes one parameter, a key and returns its value.
We can also use the getProperty() method to find a Java location to access the jvm.dll file.
It uses the search pattern and displays the executable’s location.Īs soon as we run the following command in the Windows Command-Line, it displays the java.exe’s location on the command line. The simplest and easiest command to find Java location in Windows Operating System is where java. Output: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe C:\Users\Dell> for %i in (java.exe) do %~$PATH:i We are looking for java.exe in the command given below. Here, we use a loop and specify the file’s name that we are looking for in the path. Use for %i in (java.exe) do %~$PATH:i to Find Java Location We can use the following methods to find the Java location for the jvm.dll file. Different Approaches to Find Java Location for jvm.dll What if we don’t even remember the path where we have installed Java? Now, how will you find the jvm.dll file?ĭo we have any time-saving solution rather than wondering in various folders to find Java location to get the jvm.dll file? Yes, some of them are given below. The jvm.dll file path for JDK: C:\Java\jdk-17.0.2\bin\server.The jvm.dll file path for JRE: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_241\bin\client.We have used the default location for JRE installation and the custom location for JDK both paths are given below. Remember, the jvm.dll always resides in your_path\bin\client and your_path\bin\server for JRE and JDK, respectively. We know that JDK and JRE can be installed in different locations, which means you can also have a custom path. So, it is difficult to specify one exact path where we can find the Java Virtual Machine dll file ( jvm.dll).īut if you have installed it on its default location, then the Java folder must reside in the C:\Program Files folder drive, which further helps you find the jvm.dll file.
We can install Java anywhere on the machine. Once we know that we’ve installed Java on our machine, the next move is finding the path to access the jvm.dll file. 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, It tells the version of Java that we installed, otherwise, produces the following error. We can write the following command on the command line prompt (cmd). It is better to check whether we have Java installed on our machine or not to avoid that kind of situation. Sometimes, we are stuck in work so much and start searching for the jvm.dll file before installing Java. Java must be installed on the machine to find the Java Virtual Machine dll file.
This tutorial will introduce how to know where JDK/JRE is installed to find the Java location to access the jvm.dll file.
