installationjdkwindows 7

I'm trying to install Weblogic using the Quick Installer.
According to the README file I shoudl first set my JAVA_HOME system variable.

QUICKSTART

  1. Setup JAVA_HOME for the target platform.

So, consider this done.

If run %JAVA_HOME% in my terminal I can verify that.

But when I run the installer it point to the Java Runtime path.

Why is that ?

Although it is unclear why the installer is looking in the jre directory instead of jdk, a simple workaround for installing Weblogic is to simply run this command:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\bin\java -jar fmw_12.2.1.2.0_wls_quick.jar"
