Web Logic - cant open installer?

Question

I am trying to install web logic running the following command:

java -jar fmw_12.2.1.3.0_wls.jar

But when I do I get the following error:

 Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600]

    C:\windows\system32>cd C:\Program Files\fmw_12.2.1.3.0_wls_Disk1_1of1

    C:\Program Files\fmw_12.2.1.3.0_wls_Disk1_1of1>java -jar fmw_12.2.1.3.0_wls.jar
    Launcher log file is C:\Users\608430681\AppData\Local\Temp\OraInstall2018-03-05_

    This installer must be executed using a Java Development Kit (JDK)
    but C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_121 is not a valid JDK Java Home.
    The log is located here: C:\Users\608430681\AppData\Local\Temp\OraInstall2018-03

    Press Enter to exit

I have checked my Java home and my path variables and they are valid - what is the issue here?

Oracle doesn't like spaces, try to copy your jdk to a non-space path, like:

C:\java\jdk1.8.0_152

And source files:

C:\tmp\fmw_12.2.1.3.0_wls_Disk1_1of1

and if you don't want, you don't have to change your JAVA_HOME, just run:

C:\java\jdk1.8.0_152\bin\java -jar C:\tmp\fmw_12.2.1.3.0_wls_Disk1_1of1\fmw_12.2.1.3.0_wls.jar
