  1. windows 8.1 with 64-bit
  2. jdk1.8.0_131
  3. jre1.8.0_131
  4. sts-3.9.0 for 64-bit

when I am trying to start STS(Spring tool suite) I am getting following error and unable to start the STS(Image attached for error details)

Note: I have separate Eclipse neon in my machine which works perfectly.

  • You have a 64 bit STS and a 32 bit Java. They must both be 64 bit or both 32 bit. – greg-449 Aug 22 '17 at 16:40
  • I have STS and java both 64-bit installed in my machine. but still the problem persists. – Dhiraj Singh Aug 22 '17 at 18:07
  • You may have a 64 bit Java installed but STS is finding and trying to use a 32 bit Java. Exit code 13 always means a mismatch in 32/64 bit. See [this](https://stackoverflow.com/q/4945178/2670892) question – greg-449 Aug 22 '17 at 18:35
  • I have cross checked and found everything is 64 bit. I am really fade up with this. I am in deadlock situation. Please help me out. – Dhiraj Singh Aug 23 '17 at 11:19

You can point the correct javaw.exe file for spring using a -vm argument on sts.ini file.

I just had to do it, here is how:
STS launch error - Java was started but returned exit code=13

Hope it still helps, considering how old the question is.
