How did you install it?

Does it work if you explicitly specify the path to the Java binary with --java c:\wherever\java\is\installed\java.exe?

[dlenski]

Please try latest version, which gives more comprehensible error messages when attempting to call the Java binary, or interacting with the ZXing Java library.
