I am using a 64-bit machine, with the latest version of R (3.1.2), the latest RStudio version (0.98.1091) and the latest JAVA (Version 8 Update 31).
I tried to require rJava (rJava_0.9-6) and the result is the following error:
require(xlsx)
Carregando pacotes exigidos: rJava
Error : .onLoad falhou em loadNamespace() para 'rJava', detalhes:
chamada: fun(libname, pkgname)
erro: No CurrentVersion entry in Software/JavaSoft registry! Try re-installing Java and make sure R and Java have matching architectures.
Failed with error: ‘package ‘rJava’ could not be loaded’
I already tried to re-install Java with no sucess.
Does anybody know how can I solve this problem?
I think the problem on this occasion is that your Java is 32-bit, whereas your R is 64-bit. This is why you get a R and Java have different architectures error.
In order to check what your Java version is on Windows type:
java -d64 -version
on the command line as it is mentioned here.
I think that once you install the correct Java version i.e. the 64-bit on this occasion then loading your xlsx library will work!
The architecture of Java you get for install from the regular Java download web page depends on the architecture of browser you’re using (32-bit or 64-bit) when you download it. This happens without any fanfare. Try the Java manual download page, select the 64-bit version of Java for your OS, install it, and then (after restarting R) try your R packages again.

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).

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)
Refer this link - http://www.r-bloggers.com/how-to-load-the-rjava-package-after-the-error-java_home-cannot-be-determined-from-the-registry/
I encountered the same problem. Be sure to check the file path for Java. To solve the error I needed to download 64bit Java version. However the following code in R did not work as the folder was incorrect for the latest version for Java:
Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME='C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7') # for 64-bit version
Instead I changed the name to:
Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME='C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.8.0_144')
Hope that helps
I have noticed in different fresh installations of R, RStudio and rJava in WIndows, that what fixes the error is:
Uninstall R
Reinstall R but only selecting one architecture. Example, x64, or x86, but not both. That tends to confuse R or RStudio when they are compiling.
In my case, I fixed the message
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.
Following steps 1 and 2 above.
I tried what the other have said to not avail. For me the solution was to eliminate the old folders and shortcuts of R version 32 bit on my computer that remained there even after uninstalling.
This happened to me when Java was updated to a 32-bit, but R required a 64-bit version.
The solution:
Simply download the 64-bit version of Java
install it.
Restart RStudio
Everything should work

I guess your OS architecture and R architecture are not matching. If they are matching, the following might be the problem
It worked for me after i added the R library path to the environment variables list on my windows 7.
So,
Add 'C:/Users/Rohan-PC/Documents/R/win-library/3.1' this path to the Path variables list under System variables list(not to be confused with the PATH variable under User variables). Restart R and try loading the library. It works!!!!!
If you have both 64-bit R and 32-bit R versions installed, try from each one.
For me it worked on R 64bits but not R 32bits.
But of course that depends on your java version (64-bit Java vs 32-bit Java).
I am trying to install XLConnectJars to R and I keep getting the following error despite having Java DK and rJava installed?
Error: Package as namespace load failed for 'XLConnectJars'
.onLoad failed om LoadNamespace() for 'rJava', details:
call: library.dynam("rJava",pkgname,libname)
error: DLL 'rJava' not found: maybe not installed for this architecture?
Any help greatly appreciated!
XLConnectJars is a support package used by XLConnect, a platform-independent interface to Microsoft Excel. In order for XLConnectJars to install correctly, one must also install the rJava package.
The error noted in the OP indicates that rJava did not install correctly.
error: DLL 'rJava' not found: maybe not installed for this architecture?
Many people encounter problems installing rJava because it cannot access the Java Runtime from the operating system. Solutions to the "unable to access Java runtime" problem vary by operating system.
Windows
People often have 32-bit Java installed and then use 64-bit R. The 64-bit version of R requires the 64-bit version of Java.
Solution: Install the 64-bit version of the Java Runtime for Windows from the Java Download web page.
MacOS
Details to configure rJava on MacOS are covered in another SO answer I posted, Unable to load rJava in RStudio, which I am reposting here for convenience.
There is a very specific sequence of steps that must be taken to get rJava to work on a Macbook, as documented in rJava Issues #86.
Download and install Java from Oracle
Uninstall any previously installed version of rJava
Add JAVA_HOME to your .bashrc
Close & restart terminal, R and RStudio sessions so they pick up the updated JAVA_HOME
Use install.packages() to install rJava
See the URL link above for additional details on each step.
Ubuntu Linux
Use the Advanced Packaging Tool to install Java, then reconfigure Java support in R.
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk # openjdk-9-jdk has some installation issues
sudo R CMD javareconf
Once these steps are completed, install the XLConnectJars package with install.packages("XLConnectJars").

When I type require(xlsx) in order to load the package xlsx in R, the following messages is shown:

Loading required package: xlsx
Loading required package: xlsxjars
Loading required package: rJava
Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details:
call: fun(libname, pkgname)

Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details:
call: fun(libname, pkgname)
error: No CurrentVersion entry in Software/JavaSoft registry! Try re-installing Java and make sure R and Java have matching architectures.
Do you have any suggestion on how to solve the problem?
The reason is probably linked to the fact you are using a 64-bit OS and R version but do not have Java installed with the same architecture.
What you have to do is to download Java 64-bit from this page: https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
After that just try to reload the xlsx package. You shouldn't need to re-start R or if it does not work restart once.
Its because either one of the Java versions(32 bit/64 bit) is missing from your computer. Try installing both the Jdks and run the code.
After installing the Jdks open R and type the code
system("java -version")
This will give you the version of Jdk installed. Then try loading the rJava package. This worked for me.
I had a similar problem what worked for me was to set JAVA_HOME. I tired it first in R:
Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME = "C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_101/")
And when it actually worked I set it in
System Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables
by adding a new System variable. I then restarted R/RStudio and everything worked.
I had a similar issue. It is caused due the dependent package 'rJava'. This problem can be overcome by re-directing the R to use a different JAVA_HOME.
if(Sys.getenv("JAVA_HOME")!=""){
Sys.setenv(JAVA_HOME="")
}
library(rJava)
This worked for me.
If you have this error in RStudio, use Lauren's environmental code above and change your R version to the 32 bit version in Tools, Global Options. There should be both 32bit and 64bit R options if you have a newer version. This will require a restart of R, and limit your memory options. Installing the 64 bit version of the jre won't be required though.
An alternative package that you can use is readxl. This package doesn't require external dependencies.
For reading/writing excel files, you can use :
readxl package for reading and writexl package for writing
openxlsx package for reading and writing
With xlsx and XLConnect (which use rjava) you will face memory errors if you have large files
Answer in link resolved my issue.
Before resolution, I tried by adding JAVA_HOME to windows environments. It resolved this error but created another issue. The solution in above link resolves this issue without creating additional issues.
If you have this issue with macOS, there is no easy way here: ( Especially, when you want to use R3.4. I have been there already.
R 3.4, rJava, macOS and even more mess
For R3.3 it's a little bit easier (R3.3 was compiled using different compiler).
R, Java, rJava and macOS adventures
For me, I simply needed to make sure the Java was 64-bit (to match R).
Here's how I downloaded and installed 64-bit Java:
Go to: https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Click on "Windows Offline (64-bit)"
Install it (you may need to find the file that downloaded and double click it, or it may automatically install)
Close and reopen your R/RStudio session
Everything will work as expected!
I have installed the latest versions of R (2.15.2) and Java (7.11), and through RStudio (0.97.310) I am trying to load the rJava package. It seemed to install properly, but when I call library(rJava) I get the following error:
Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rJava', details:
call: stop("No CurrentVersion entry in '", key, "'!
Try re-installing Java and make sure R and Java have matching architectures.")
error: object 'key' not found
Error: package/namespace load failed for ‘rJava’
The documentation for rJava makes reference to Java 1.5+, so I am wondering if I need to install an ancient version of Java to resolve this problem. Any help would be much appreciated!
Ok, I figured it out. Guess I should have read the release notes on the rJava development website. I had installed Java, but not the JDK. Once I installed that, everything worked fine.
I had this problem and solved it by downloading and installing Java 64-bit (which you should probably choose if you have a modern computer) from the Java download site.
