Unable to find Java on Windows

[mulderp]

Hi,

I installed Java 1.7 via the Netbeans IDE.

Now, when I run: node findJavaHome.js, I get:

Error: Command failed: C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /s /c "reg query "hklm\s
re\wow6432node\javasoft\java development kit""
ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.

I tried to edit registry manually by adding "Java Development Kit", and "1.7" as key, but so far the error remains.

Any ideas what to do?

Works when having a JAVA_HOME path defined, e.g.

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79

(Hint can from installing JRuby )
