JRE issue with getting Spring Tool Suite installed
Linux
This solution works with:
Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Spring Tool Suite 4
Version: 4.1.1.RELEASE
Build Id: 201901241133
OS: Linux, v.4.15.0-45-generic, x86_64 / gtk 3.22.30
Java version: 11.0.2
In your Spring Tool Suite root folder add to the file SprintToolSuite4.ini following 2 lines after openFile:
-vm
/usr/lib/jvm/<your-java-folder>/<your-java-subfolder>/bin
Your SprintToolSuite4.ini file should look now something like this:

Add the right path to your JRE (the java /bin folder) to your ini file.
Your STS/Eclipse is x64 bit I think due to this line "-arch x86_64" in your STS startup error. You'd need to specify -vm argument in STS.ini. For example: -vm C:\Java\JDK\1.6\bin\javaw.exe
The folder you've specified C:\Windows\SysWOW64\javaw.exe... is it pointing to the right x64 VM? The JDK/JRE folder must have bin, lib and other sub-folders. The javaw.exe that you point to must be in the "bin" folder. I don't see the "bin" in your VM path. Keep the file structure of the JDK/JRE folder unchanged.
I had this problem with STS4. Solved it adding -vm parameter in SpringToolSuite4.ini:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.5.100.v20180827-1352.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.800.v20180827-1352
-product
org.springframework.boot.ide.branding.sts4
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_162\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM
-Xms40m
-Xmx1200m
IMPORTANT: this didn't work when I added the config parameter at the end of the file, it had to be in the middle between openFile and -vmargs lines.
For deeper details about STS/Eclipse INI configuration check Missing tools.jar when launching STS application and eclipse.ini
You need to have C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.2\bin in your path.
also check that,
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.2\bin\javaw.exe
in SpringToolSuite4.ini.
Make sure above and then open SpringToolSuite4.exe.
