I have just installed Xamarin into my existing VS2015. I have a Win 7 64 bit machine. When I start a simple Xamarin.Forms project and try to build and deploy onto an Android emulator, it throws an error -
**"The specified task executable location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0\_71\bin\java.exe" is invalid."**

**In Options->Xamarin->JDK Settings = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0\_91\"**

I have uninstalled JDK 1.7 from my machine, and restarted my machine. There is no difference.

I also have a 64 bit version of JDK and my JAVA\_HOME points to that, which I cannot change just for Xamarin.

Where in the world is Xamarin picking up this path from?

How to fix this issue?
