I can't find "javac"
819272Nov 28 2010 — edited Mar 1 2011I am having a hard time fixing this problem. I downloaded JDK 1.6.0_22 and I am using Windows Vista Home Premium edition and when I try to run the "javac HelloWorlApp.java" I get the error: 'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
I went back and read the directions and also the troubleshooting page with a similar example and created this path:
To set the PATH permanently, add the full path of the jdk1.6.0_<version>\bin directory to the PATH variable. Typically this full path looks something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_<version>\bin. Set the PATH as follows on Microsoft Windows:
1.Click Start > Control Panel > System on Windows XP or Start > Settings > Control Panel > System on Windows 2000.
2.Click Advanced > Environment Variables.
3.Add the location of bin folder of JDK installation for PATH in User Variables and System Variables. A typical value for PATH is:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_<version>\bin
I still can't find/run the "javac" command but the computer cannot find it.
Any advice? Thanks...
Richard.
