title: JetBrains IntelliJ Error launching Intellij Platform - Error invoking main method
body: <p>I have IntelliJ IDEA and other JetBrains products installed and they worked great (PyCharm, Android Studio, Clion, WebStorm) till today, now I just get opening message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error launching Intellij Platform - Error invoking main method</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have installed:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25</p>
    
    <p>C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_25</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and JAVA_HOME is pointing to jdk.</p>

  <p>I installed (clean) Windows 8.1 and now it works, but there should be option to wipe all java configs from Windows to avoid such mess, cause this is not the solution.</p>
