Cause 1

The JAVA_HOME environment variable is set but is not included in the PATH environment variable.

Cause 2

The jvm.dll is missing from your Java install.

Resolution 1

Add the JAVA_HOME\bin environment variable to the PATH environment variable. E.g.:

BEFORE

%JAVA_HOME% = c:\devTools\Java\jdk1.6.0_31

%PATH% = C:\strawberry\perl\bin\;C:\csvn\bin\;C:\csvn\Python25\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Lenovo;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Ulead Systems\MPEG;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\SWTOOLS\ReadyApps;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Services\IPT\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\VIP Access Client\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\;c:\devTools\Git\cmd;c:\devTools\Git\bin;C:\devTools\SlikSvn\bin\;C:\devTools\Mercurial\;C:\Program Files (x86)\WinMerge;C:\devTools\MySQL\bin;C:\strawberry\c\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\bin\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin

AFTER

%JAVA_HOME% = c:\devTools\Java\jdk1.6.0_31

%PATH% = %JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\bin\;C:\csvn\bin\;C:\csvn\Python25\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Lenovo;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Ulead Systems\MPEG;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\SWTOOLS\ReadyApps;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Services\IPT\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\VIP Access Client\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\;c:\devTools\Git\cmd;c:\devTools\Git\bin;C:\devTools\SlikSvn\bin\;C:\devTools\Mercurial\;C:\Program Files (x86)\WinMerge;C:\devTools\MySQL\bin;C:\strawberry\c\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\bin\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin

Resolution 2

Re-install Java, ensuring the missing file is now present.
