Rename the file to product.conf.old and restarting sqldeveloper will prompt you again from scratch.
When prompted, put in the complete path to where you installed the JDL, for example C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_33
Do not enter a directory below the top level. /Hans On 02/02/2015 1:44 PM, Zelli, Brian wrote:

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. /Hans On 02/02/2015 1:03 PM, Zelli, Brian wrote: Yes, I am on the sql developer 4.1 early Adopter page and the download says Windows 32/64bit.
