While loading rJava package, I receive this error -

Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details: call: inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...)

error: unable to load shared object 'C:/Users/ankitagarwal5/Documents/R/win-library/3.2/rJava/libs/x64/rJava.dll': LoadLibrary failure: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

In addition: Warning message: package ‘rJava’ was built under R version 3.2.3 Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rJava’

I referred various posts on stackoverflow and tried to make changes accordingly but nothing worked. These are the various steps I followed to resolve the issue -

if (Sys.getenv("JAVA_HOME")!="") Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME="") library(rJava) 

This didn't work.

Then I tried this -

options(java.home="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.8.0_91\\") library(rJava) 

This didn't work either.

My jvm.dll is at this location in my Windows 7 64 bit OS - C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_91\bin\client

I also added C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_91\bin\client to my PATH variable in my Environment variables and restarted RStudio and tried to install and load rJava again. That also didn't work.

I would really appreciate if someone could please help me resolve this issue.

Thanks guys  !

This worked for me -

This error is often resolved by installing a Java version (i.e. 64-bit Java or 32-bit Java) that fits to the type of R version that you are using (i.e. 64-bit R or 32-bit R). This problem can easily effect Windows 7 users, since they might have installed a version of Java that is different than the version of R they are using.

Note that it is necessary to ‘manually download and install’ the 64 bit version of JAVA. By default, the download page gives a 32 bit version .

You can pick the exact version of Java you wish to install from this link. If you might (for some reason) work on both versions of R, you can install both version of Java (Installing the “Java Runtime Environment” is probably good enough for your needs). (Source: Uwe Ligges)

Other possible solutions is trying to re-install rJava.

If that doesn’t work, you could also manually set the directory of your Java location by setting it before loading the library:

Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME='C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7') # for 64-bit version Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME='C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre7') # for 32-bit version library(rJava)
