Cause

The installer cannot find 64-bit JRE.
To install Studio, a 64-bit JRE is required.
Also refer to "Release Notes - IBM Watson Explorer Analytical Components, Version 11.0.1" in Related information below.

Resolving The Problem

To resolve the issue:

  1. Make sure that 64-bit JRE is installed
  2. Run "ContentAnalyticsStudio-install.exe LAX_VM <JRE_FOLDER>\java.exe" as a Windows administrator
    Note: <JRE_FOLDER> should be replaced with the concrete full path of the folder having java.exe

Another way is:

  1. Make sure that 64-bit JRE is installed
  2. Run Control Panel
  3. Click System icon
  4. Click Advanced system settings in the left pane

  7. Choose Path from System variables and then click Edit button
  8. Add the full path of the folder having java.exe at the top of other paths in Variable value
  9. Click OK button on each dialog box
  10. Run ContentAnalyticsStudio-install.exe again as a Windows administrator
