Hi @veerasekar 

JAVA_HOME environment variable should point to the JDK, for example C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_201, not the JRE.

Hope this helps

Hi @veerasekar, if you are installing tomcat, the path of Java Virtual Machine would be jre (Java Runtime Environment). 

e.g., 

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_92\jre
