Can not find Java Runtime Environment Says ArgoUML

I've just had this problem too, with a properly installed x64 JRE 8u45. Don't know if the Windows exe installer expects an x86 jvm?

Anyway, download the binary package zip instead from http://argouml-downloads.tigris.org/argouml-0.34/ and unzip somewhere. It runs fine from there * with argouml.bat, you just don't get a start menu entry added.

  • EDIT: Your PATH must be correct to find the java.exe, easy way to check is to open a new Cmd shell (Start > Run... > cmd) and type java -version you should get something back from the jvm

Check if JAVA_HOME environment variable is set (it should contain the directory your JRE is installed to).


I have the same problem on WIN7_X64.

I have installed it manually, here some steps:

  • Download the argouml-0.34 zip file
  • Extract the archive to install_dir Ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\ArgoUML-0.34 (to make it visible for all users)
  • Create a shortcut ArgoUML in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs with the following information:

Target: "install_dir\argouml.jar" Ex: "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArgoUML-0.34\argouml.jar"

Start in: "install_dir" Ex: "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArgoUML-0.34"

Change Icon...: browse to install_dir\ArgoUML.ico Ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\ArgoUML-0.34\ArgoUML.ico

You ca use argouml.bat but the above steps are more than enough.
