Charles web debugging proxy request java

Question

My operation system is windows 7 64bit.

I try to install Charles and when I go to run it always it stacks with this:

A suitable Java installation was not found. Please visit http://java.com/ to install Java.

I have installed Java in my computer and test it using cmd console.

Please, could you help me what can I do?

Answer 1

This is a common issue on 64 bits platforms, because they support 32 bits and 64 bits applications, and in you case 32 or 64 bits Java.

Extract from Charles FAQ : If you are using the 32 bit version of Charles you must have a 32 bit JRE installed, and vice versa if you're using the 64 bit version of Charles you must have a 64 bit JRE installed.

Make sure you are installing the correct version of Charles (32 or 64 bits) with respect to your Java installation.

Answer 2

You could alternative try Fiddler which does a great job on Windows.
