Hi,
Thank you for the thorough explanation.
I have an issue with keytool.exe not being in the jre/bin folder, but in the jbr/bin folder along with other java related files. I’ve attempted to add both to the path, with no avail.
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr\bin
C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\bin
The jre/bin folder only contains a MARKER File and nothing else
Hello,
I encountered a similar issue, but I managed to resolve it. I recently installed Java JDK on my system and configured the path for JDK in the environment variables. Afterwards, I verified the installations through the command prompt by using two commands: ‘java -version’ and ‘keytool -version’. I successfully obtained the version information for both. I hope this experience might be helpful for others facing a similar situation.
