Gradle Can't User Java_home While Debugging From Android Studio

I'm trying to compile a project in android studio and it gives the Could not execute build using Gradle distribution 'http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.6-bin.zip'.

Solution 1:

Change the value of environment variable JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\Jre7\ instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\Jre7\bin\java.exe

JAVA_HOME should be always pointing to the parent directory of JDK or JRE installation inside of which, we find the bin directory containing the java, javac, etc. binaries

Solution 2:

I might be reading too much into the error message, but shouldn't JAVA_HOME look more like C:\views\p4\library\bea-jrockit\1.6.0_29\windows-x86_64\dist?

Notice that it points to a folder called 'dist' instead of to the java.exe itself. To help you figure out the folder, 'dist' has inside of it 'bin'. So maybe try something more like C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\Jre7\?
