Java installation not found

[Ramadan Elfaitouri]

I am trying to install a command (Stata 17) but I receive a message that

. ssc install chi2power
Java installation not found
r(5004);

Could you please help me to solve this problem?

On your system, run the Stata command java query and in the Stata Results window, copy the command and its output and paste it into a reply. Please surround your pasted material with code delimiters [CODE] before and [/CODE] after the copied material.

I have run the command
java query

the result is that

. java query
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Java settings
set java_heapmax 4096m
set java_home C:\Program Files\Stata17\utilities\java\windows-x64\zulu-jdk11.0.11\

Java system information
initialized no
library path C:\Program Files\Stata17\utilities\java\windows-x64\zulu-jdk11.0.11\bin\server
> \jvm.dll

Supposedly initialization happens automatically; but try

java initialize
java query

and see if that helps.

An alternative would be to download another version of JDK from "Java Archive Downloads - Java SE 17 (oracle.com)". Extract the .zip file and copy paste the contents in the Stata 17 installation folder. You will then need to set Stata for using this version of jdk by

set java_home "Path to the extracted folder in the Stata 17 installation folder"

The

 ssc install chi2power

command should work after this.

[William Lisowski]

I would not recommend installing an alternative version of Java unless you want to maintain your Java installation yourself, rather than have Stata take care of it as part of its update procedures. And the version of Java reported by java query suggests that you have not updated your installation of Stata 17 since 14 June 2021 which was when Stata made 11.0.11 the current version; you can see that my version is at 11.0.13, which was released in the 11 November 2021 update to Stata.

So if the manual initialization suggested above doesn't resolve the problem, I would advise that the next step is to

update all

and perhaps the update process will take care of your Java problem.

If not, my next advice would be to contact Stata Technical Services at

https://www.stata.com/support/tech-support/

and seek their advice. You're entitled to it as part of your Stata license.

. set java_home "C:\Users\ramfa\Desktop\jdk-17_windows-x64_bin\jdk-17.0.2\bin\java.exe"

C:\Users\ramfa\Desktop\jdk-17_windows-x64_bin\jdk-17.0.2\bin\java.exe is not a valid path.

when I use about command I can see that
Revision 16 Dec 2021

[Ramadan Elfaitouri]

I have updated Stata 17. It is now Revision 17 Jan 2022.
However, I still receive

. ssc install chi2power
Java installation not found
r(5004);

Download Stata installation qualification tool from https://www.stata.com/support/instal...qualification/
and run it, report back if all qualifications pass or some fail.

[Ramadan Elfaitouri]

Please have a look at the attached file.
Please note that I use Windows 11

[Hua Peng (StataCorp)]

As the iqt.pdf suggested, your Stata MP executable is out of date. Launch StataMP, then type

update all

and follow the instructions. Make sure after the update, in Stata,

[/CODE]
query compilenumber
[/CODE]

reports "Compile number 170112". report back if any error during update.

[Ramadan Elfaitouri]

I have done it. The report is attached.

[Hua Peng (StataCorp)]

Now the installation is good. Do you still have problem when try

 
 ssc install chi2power

If the problem persists, please contact us at [email protected]

[Ramadan Elfaitouri]

I still receive the same message

Java installation not found
r(5004);

However, I would like to mention that when I click on Stata icon to open it, I receive a security alert from McAfee Endpoint Security. I have add Stata in the Exclusions (setting in McAfee). Could McAfee affect Stata?
