Is your Windows version 64bit or 32bit? What launcher do you use to run PyCharm - pycharm.exe or pycharm64.exe?

If 64bit, download Windows 64bit JDK Windows x64 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html and set JAVA_HOME to the folder where you have installed the JDK.

Or make sure to download the distribution with the bundled (64bit) JDK from https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download

HI Sergerv

My windows version is 64 bit.

I am unable to know the kind of pycharm launcher when I see the properties of my " pycharm-community-2018.3.4 "  file ,

it shows 

seems like I have checked 32 bit while installing the launcher.

so now I have already installed 32 bit , how should I uninstall the settings which are earlier completely and install the 64 bit version.

if I just uninstall the existing one, and check the 64 bit launcher  while installing now will fix everything?

could you please explain me in detail

Thanks in advance

I believe the easiest way is to uninstall the current installation of PyCharm and then reinstall it from the link I provided above.

Make sure to check Download and install JRE... option during installation.

Toolbox App maybe helpful in managing your JetBrains IDEs https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox/app/

Buen día a todos pero si mi version es de 32 Bits que me recomendarían para no tener ese problema.

My windows version is 32bit and I get the same error message after installing and opening for the first time.

PyCharm 2019.* is running under JDK 11 which doesn’t support 32-bit https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/jdk11certconfig-5069638.html.

Unfortunately, there is no way to run PyCharm 2019.* on 32-bit OS.

You can download the 2018.3 version from https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/previous.html or with help of Toolbox App. It supports 32-bit OS.

same error ;(
i am on windows 8.1, 64-bit os.........

Hi,

I have installed JDK 32bit and set JAVA_HOME in environment variable and install pycharm2018.3.7 which is a 32bit but still unable to run it. Any idea how to run it.

PyCharm 2018.x should automatically boot up using bundled 32-bit JDK, and JAVA_HOME may actually be the issue. Please try to unset it.

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A 64-bit JDK INSTALLED, Define a JAVA_HOME Variable in computer >system properties>system setting> Environment variables.

I have windows 64-bit OS,
python 3.10.0-amd64.exe
PyCharm community 2021.2.2

Arshi Fiza29 Does it work if you start PyCharm using bin/pycharm.bat ?
