Java is a program that other programs (like Minecraft) are built on. If you can't find that Java executable, chances are the problem is:
- You don't have any version of Java installed. You will need to install Java.
- You have a different version of Java installed. The folder
jre1.8.0_31refers to Java version 8, update 31. Try going toC:\Program Files\Java\, orC:\Program Files (x86)\Java\- do either of these locations exist, and is there another/differentjrefolder?
You need to install Java.
That is the default install directory, if you had actually installed Java, which you haven't.
