Java Installation Problems

807600Jun 27 2007 — edited Jun 29 2007

I'm trying to get Java going on my machine but am having no joy. I have version J2SDK1.4.2_06. This is installed to C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06 andis appearing in my Add And Remove Programs. I then went into Environment Variables and entered 'JAVA_HOME' as the variable and 'C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\bin' as the variable value in the user variables. However if I use cmd to navigate to a folder containing a java program and use the javac command I get the following error:

'javac' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Can anybody suggest what the problem might be? Should I set the class path in the System Variables rather than the User Variables?
