could not create the java virtual machine

I hava installed sdk 1.4 on my machine , but when i check on cmd using "java -version" it responds " could not create java virtual machine " . can anyone tell me why this problem arises and how can i resolve it ?


Thanks in advance.

Sometimes, javac and java may not be in the PATH.

Set up your PATH to allow the OS to find javac and java, this should resolve your problem.

Why are you installing a product that's been EOL since October 2008? If you must for some obscure reason do this, searching on "could not create java virtual machine" yields nearly 2 million results. At least some of them must be useful.

@Madhan: That error is totally unrelated to the PATH.
