Configuring JAVA for Talend 5.5.2 in Windows

I just passed so much time in order to configure JAVA for Talend Version 5.5.2.
Please note that Talend 5.5.2 does not support Java 8, earlier I was having Java 6 in my machine so I was facing problem in Excel Input/Output components. So I updated Java from version 6 to 7, now its working fine.

Here are the steps to setup java 7 for Talend 5.5.x version.

1. Download jre-7u51-windows-x64.exe from java site.
2. Install the exe file.
3. Click on start button and type java in search box then click on configure java



Move to java tab and copy the path which is highlighted in picture below-




now we need to set the PATH variable for Windows-



Right click on My Computer > Properties > Change Settings > Go to Advance Tab > Environment Variables...

Click on New in User Variable section (or modify the java path)
Name: PATH
Value: C:\TPC;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe (in my case) which we found in java configure box earlier.

click on OK. Restart on machine.
You would be able to Run Talend :)
