IntelliJ IDEA "The selected directory is not a valid home for JDK"
Because you are choosing jre
dir. and not JDK
dir. JDK
dir. is for instance (depending on update and whether it's 64 bit or 32 bit): C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_45
In my case it's 32 bit JDK 1.7
update 45
This error occurs because if you choosing the path deep in JDK or JRE.The exact path that should be chosen is in my case 64 bit
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_91
if 32 bit
C:\Program Files (86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_91
