[HELP] Arduino UNO problem "Couldn't find Java Virtual Machine"

[hiaoa]

when i open a program called "TurnIntoAJoystick" and when i open it and it says
"Couldn't Find Java Virtual Machine" and i keep getting it no matter what i did it didnt work i just keep getting this message i feel like giving up on this project wasted with 4+ hours and i watched this guy named "RoboTechZone" his video called: How To Make Gaming Steering Wheel Wth Arduino Uno || Game Controller || #11 Arduino Project

See also FAQ - Arduino Forum for general rules on forum behavior and etiquette. Hello, Welcome to the Arduino Forum. This guide explains how to get the best out of this forum. Please read and follow the instructions below. Being new here you might think this is having rules for the sake of rules, but that is not the case.

Sorry, but editing your post to point form makes it easier to read.

As asked above.
YouTube link.
Your code.
Can you please post a copy of your circuit, a picture of a hand drawn circuit in jpg, png?
Hand drawn and photographed is perfectly acceptable.
Please include ALL hardware, power supplies, component names and pin labels.

Thanks... Tom....

Couldn't Find Java Virtual Machine

Are you able to compile any other sketch, such as the example sketches in the Arduino IDE, or does this error always occur?

Which version of the Arduino IDE are you using, and what is the operating system on the computer?

Does this error occur when you are compiling/uploading the sketch in the Arduino IDE, or when you are reprogramming the 16u2 USB to serial chip on the UNO?

[david_2018]

Assuming you installed the Atmel FLIP software to reprogram the 16u2, did you install the version that includes the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)? If not, you likely do not have JRE installed on the computer.
