When I try to install Java from, it does not install. I am installing an application and get Java Virtual Machine error. I am surprised that no one else has encountered this issue. My issue is similar but this solution did not work. But I definitely do not have Java installed.so I am starting there. This issue also occurs when running any install Anywhere application that requires Java. I have disabled absolutely everything in Windows Security that there is to disable and I am still getting the when installing Java or Java SDK Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. The only anti-virus is the Windows Security. This is a clean install of Parallels with Windows 10 and I am still getting the error. None of these work we get the message: Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. There is also recommendations to set a user variable and a system variable.

When you install the JRE, you can install only one JRE on your system at a time. To install an earlier version of the JRE, you must first uninstall the current version. To determine the current JRE version installed on your system, see Determining the JRE Version Installed on macOS. However, the system will not replace the current JRE with a lower version.

Installing the JDK and JRE on macOS is performed on a systemwide basis for all users. You cannot install Java for a single user. The following are the system requirements for installing the JDK and the JRE on macOS:
