Perhaps PATH set incorrectly?

Try:  echo %PATH% in a cmd tool window.  If the java 7 poop is in there, I 
would either take it out completely or replace it with the path to java 8.

When I changed the path in the sqldeveloper config file for the set java home, 
I got this error:

Unable to create an instance of the Java Virtual Machine
Located at path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_51\jre\bin\clinet\jvm.dll

That looks to be pointing to my older version, how do I change it to the right 
one?

Thanks.

Since you are running 64-bit, you could download the SQL Developer for 64-bit 
Windows that includes Java (311MB), as that is already pre-integrated and 
pretty much just works (assuming you don't end up with a hidden security dialog 
box warning you that you are trying to execute something from the scary 
interwebs).

In the version you have, opening the directory you unzipped into, and 
double-clicking on sqldeveloper.exe SHOULD pop up a dialog asking where the 
Java 1.8 is (again assuming no scary permissions dialog) and you would point to 
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_31 ... you get lots of "not certified with Java 
higher than 1.7" messages, but it seems to work OK

The question is whether you are running Windows 7 32-bit or Windows 7 64-bit.  
That can be determined by going to the Control Panel and opening the System 
applet.

I have had no problem using the 4.1 on a Windows 7 64-bit environment using the 
complete download, which includes the JDK.

I am currently trying to reproduce your challenge on a Windows 7 32-bit 
environment, using the 32-bit JDK and the same SQLDeveloper you downloaded.

Please open a command box and run "java -version" and post the output.

Yes, I am on the sql developer 4.1 early Adopter page and the download says 
Windows 32/64bit.  That's what I downloaded.

Can we assume you are using Windows 7 32-bit?

Which unzip utility did you use?

I'm trying to reproduce on my Win7-32b environment.

I downloaded sql developer 4 and extracted it, downloaded the jdk 8 and

How can I tell what it's doing?  Why isn't it working?
