Could not find Java Development Kit though JDK 32bit is installed

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi,

I am having a problem with building my game.
I just downloaded the last stable release 2017.3184 and now I can’t build my Android-App anymore.
It says

Could not find Java Development Kit...

But I have installed the jdk-8u161-windows-i586.exe, which should be 32bit, isn’t it? I reinstalled it, which didn’t change anything.
In the Corona version, I had installed before 2017.3068, it worked (almost) fine.

What am I missing? Can I set the path to JDK anywhere?
Thank for any suggestions.

Regards

Christian

Hi,

also I have the same problem.

I found, at this link: https://coronalabs.com/blog/2017/12/19/new-corona-public-release-is-available/

Corona can now use the latest Java

Corona has been updated to use 64 bit Java installations. You no longer need to install a specific version of Java, just have the latest version installed.

I downloaded the JDK for 64 bit from this link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk9-downloads-3848520.html

name: jdk-9.0.4_windows-x64_bin.exe and now I can building my game.

For now, I have not tested the game on my phone but I thinks it works.
