py0001 : could not find main class com/intellij/idea/main

Have you installed PyCharm on your system?

New to Python?

Probably there are chances of getting this error when trying to launch "JetBrains PyCharm Community Edition **** " from your desktop or from your start menu. I have search on google to reach out the solution every blog giving different solution related to Java_Home path, Java Version Issue ..etc..

But i simply uninstalled the application and installed as per below selection (see below screenshot)

While installation setup will ask for few Check boxes like 

• 32-bit launcher
• 64-bit launcher
• Add lanchers dir to the PATH
• Add "Open Folder as Project"
• .py
• Download and install JRE x64 by JetBrains

Earlier i have installed without "Download and install JRE x64 by JetBrains" selection so i was getting this error.

later i have uninstalled and re-install with all check-box selected with "32-bit launcher" and worked successfully.

Don't forgot to leave your comments if this is helpful.
