No JVM installations found.
Answered
when I try to open up IntelliJ, a window pops up saying, "No JVM installation found. please install a 32-bit JDK. If you already have a JDK installed, define a JAVA_HOME variable in computer > system properties > system settings> environment variables." I already installed a java development kit and it still has that problem.

Reinstall IntelliJ IDEA from http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html. When installing, select the checkbox to download 32-bit JVM.

Okay, thank you.
I reinstalled it and selected the 32-bit JVM. It opened but when I tried to open it again, the same error popped up.
Do you have jre subdirectory under IntelliJ IDEA installation directory? Did you override any environment variables?
You can point IDE to the 32-bit Java 8 installation home per https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206544879.
I am not sure, how do I check?
Look in the IDE installation folder. Environment variables can be checked in Windows system settings or using http://www.rapidee.com/.
Where's the IDE installation folder?
You select it at the first step when you run the installer.
Oh I don't really remember. Do you think it's in my downloads?
Only you know where you have installed it, the default would be under Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA.
Still getting this in 2024. It's really annoying!
Benderdalitso What version of the IDE do you have? What is your OS?
Does it help if you install the latest version of the IDE from https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html?
Can you provide the output from
<IDE installation dir>\jre\bin\java.exe -versioncommand?What error do you see if you run
<IDE installation dir>\bin\idea.batin thecmd.execonsole (orideashell script in the terminal on macOS)?Check to see if the JetBrains Runtime for your IDE was overridden? See https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544879. If it was, try removing the
idea.jdkfile from the configuration directory: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/directories-used-by-the-ide-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs.html#config-directoryI've just got the same error during the update from Pycharm 2024.1.1 to 2024.1.2 on Windows 10 x64.
The toolbox was trying to apply patches but seems to have failed, then it downloaded the full Pycharm 2024.1.2 archive, successfully "updated" and was unable to launch with the mentioned error. I uninstalled Pycharm and installed it again then it started working as previously.
