Installation on Windows 10 64 bit error No CurrentVersion entry in Software/JavaSoft registry! Try re-installing Java

[AndreMikulec]

When I try to install I get this error.

Perhaps the contents are not correct? Was the .tar.gz made with "R CMD"?

The error message is clear ,
No CurrentVersion entry in Software/JavaSoft registry! Try re-installing Java and make sure R and Java have matching architectures.
The reason is probably linked to the fact you are using a 64-bit OS and R version but do not have Java installed with the same architecture. Try download Java 64-bit and 32-bit , Then run to ensure that JRE is installed correctly .

system("java -version")

waiting for your reply

[AndreMikulec]

I have Windows 10 64bit.
Before writing up the issue. I had installed the latest java ( JDK ) from the Oracle website:

jdk-8u131-windows-x64.exe

> system("java -version")
java version "1.8.0_131"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

The errors above occur just after ( in the section )

*** arch - i386

I had remember running into an install of something similar. Another author package author had components that were ONLY 32bit (created in the days before 64 bit existed). My attempted installation of the package made it fine through the 'i386' part fine, but then later died in the 'x64' section. I never found a method to install the package.

Same problem here.

> install.packages("helloJavaWorld", type = "source")
arch - i386
Error: package or namespace load failed for 'rJava':
 .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details:
  call: fun(libname, pkgname)
  error: No CurrentVersion entry in Software/JavaSoft registry! Try re-installing Java and make sure R and Java have matching architectures.

The Portable version has the same version

C:\Users\Me\Downloads\jPortable64_8_Update_131\bin>java -version
java version "1.8.0_131"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

C:\Users\Me\Downloads\jPortable64_8_Update_131\bin>

Hmm. Let me try some other things ...

[AndreMikulec]

I tried putting the jvm.dll in my path following. ( I also tried being explicit about my Java location.)

set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\jre\bin\server;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin;%PATH%

I verified that I do not have a JAVA_HOME variable

> Sys.getenv("JAVA_HOME")
[1] ""

following

Using the rJava package on Win7 64 bit with R
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7019912/using-the-rjava-package-on-win7-64-bit-with-r/7604469#7604469

That did not work. Same error.

I tried RStudio "Build Binary Package". That did not work. Same error.

[salimk]

i will build the jar in the package with an old jdk version to make it compatible with all java version; then i will send you the package to install it .

[AndreMikulec]

O.K.

[AndreMikulec]

This variation "-no-multiarch" works.

[AndreMikulec]

I do not know the correct answer, but so far

>  install.packages("Rcrawler", INSTALL_opts = "--no-multiarch")

seems to work.

[AndreMikulec]

For anyone who cares this is a good tester.

# does not work
install.packages("helloJavaWorld", type = "source")

# works

If a windows machine is not available, then perhaps the CRAN winbuilder may be a good idea.
