I want to get started with Java, but it won't install properly. Help?
807601May 21 2008 — edited May 22 2008I've installed the newest Java update - 6.6 - multiple times. However, none seem to have worked, even though the installation verifier tells me that I have the right version, and that it's functioning correctly.
The problem is this:
I've copied the source code for my problem exactly and placed it in the proper file. I then went to the MS-DOS prompt, navigated to my file, and entered "javac HelloWorld.java", as it says in the book. I got an error message, saying "'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
As I mentioned before, I am absolutely new to Java, and I haven't got the faintest idea what to do with this. Does anyone here have any advice for me? It would be much appreciated.
