Error Message: Can't determine a valid Java Home

I think my path is not set correctly for some reason.

"Path" under System Variables looks following:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\

Under User Variable Path or Java_home is not there?

Is there a way to start the path over again?

post some code otherwise you will get slammed :) - user5550963
If JAVA_HOME is not there then add it as a user variable. And explain what you are trying to do and what you mean by "click to edit". Code is most likely not needed here. - Joakim Danielson

You have to do a few things:

  • define a new variable JAVA_HOME and assign to it exactly JDK installation location, like C:\java\jdk_1.8.0
  • update your Path variable with:

%JAVA_HOME%\bin

  • important point set it first to Path.
    Finally, your Path will look:

%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows

  • open console and type:

java -version

The output should be something like:

java version "1.8.0_192"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_192-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.192-b12, mixed mode)

BTW your Path has some duplication. Just remove an unneeded part.
