Error: Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'

This is error due to multiple java version installed at different location.

so in my case this is output .

so i removed the all files from 'C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath

also deleted java folder from this location c:\java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin

and worked.

How to make it work:

Step 1: Open terminal and type where 'java'

It return 'C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath' folder which contain:

java.exe

javaw.exe

javaws.exe

Browse to this folder with Windows file explorer and remove everything (three files above).

Step 2: now check

C:\Users\Admin>java -version

Should now return:

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)

or something similar depending on which java release package you've downloaded...

It works!
