title: SQL Developer with JDK (64 bit) cannot find JVM
body: <p>I just wasted one morning trying to get SQL developer to work on my current setup:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>OS: Windows 8.1 virtual machine running on mac via Parallels.</li>
  <li>No oracle client or instant client installed</li>
  <li>No Java installed</li>
  </ul>
  <p>The reproducible steps are</p>
  <ul>
  <li>I downloaded SQL Developer for Windows with JDK (all 64-bit) and unzipped it to C:/Program Files/.</li>
  <li>I double clicked on C:/Program Files/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.exe</li>
  </ul>
  <p>I get the following message:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Unable to launch the Java Virtual Machine<br />
  Located at path:<br />
  C:/Program Files/sqldeveloper/jdk/jre/bin/server/jvm.dll</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>Can someone please help me? I also tried first installing Java 1.8 (64 bit) and then the SQL developer version without Java. This doesn't work either. When I select the location of the JDK home, it also sent one error message saying that it couldn't find any JVMs where I said. To add insult to injury, every time I follow this procedure, the Panda antivirus tells me that sqldeveloper is infected, deletes the file and encourages me to restart.</p>
  <p>Can someone please help me? I would mostly appreciate.</p>
  <p>Thank you very much in advance</p>
