If you are using 32-bit system, 32-bit JDK is not bundled with IntelliJ IDEA and you will need to install it manually (only 64-bit JDK is bundled now with the installer).
Probably the easiest way to get it running would be to get the .zip distribution from https://download.jetbrains.com/idea/ideaIU-2017.1.5.win.zip since it includes both 32-bit and 64-bit JVMs. Just unpack and start via `bin\idea.exe` file.
Thank you for your answer
unpack it to a new folder? or where I installed IDEA?
Both ways will work. Even unpacking just the jre folder into the existing installation.
Thanks! helped me a lot.
I have a same problem, installing JRE and JDK did not help.
After uninstalling Idea and JRE with JDK I installed current EAP version which works.
But I don't understand why normal version won't work, it even asked during the installation whether to download JRE x86.
Hello,
It might be a known issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JRE-590. Fix is included in EAP and will be backported to 2017.3 update.
how to download intellij software for 32 bit operating system
See https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/previous.html . Use a version with JBR8 runtime since JBR11 has no support for 32-bit systems. On Windows JBR8 installer will suggest to download and use 32-bit runtime.
