The Registry refers to non existent

    1. Go to Window>Preferences
    2. Select Java from the list on the left, then Installed JREs
    3. Click Add…
    4. Select Standard VM
    5. Point the JRE directory (Ex. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_20) and give it a name and then click finish.enter image description here

    Find your sts.ini file usually in the root directory, try adding this as the first line in the file, make sure it points to your jdk, also sometimes you need to put -vm and the path on different lines.

    -vm
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\bin\javaw.exe

    You can also try using the zip installer instead of the .msi installer.
