I am using my office laptop (Lenovo vV310 - 8GB RAM - 64 Bit OS - Windows 8.1). I have been trying to fix an installation issue with IBM Mobile First Platform for the past few days. I downloaded the IBM Mobile First Developer Kit from link http://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/products/en/MobileFirstPlatform/mobilefirst-deved-devkit-windows-8.0.0.0.exe

The problem is the installation software InstallAnywhere is not installing and gives the below warning.

Windows error 2 occured while loading the Java VM

enter image description here

I have JDK 1.8 installed in my notebook and I couldn't fix the issue. I have the java JDK and JRE bin paths set in the environment variables.

If any of you have fixed the issue, please share the solution.

1. check that the path is having IBM java. 2. look at the logs and give us more details on the error. Most likely the Java is not in path / not with executable privilleges. - Kavitha Varadarajan
