Can't Find Path?
I have two laptops, both running Windows XP and both with Java 1.4. On one laptop the following runs successfully,
START /MIN /WAIT java -classpath . MyProg
This command fails on the other laptop with the message:
The system cannot find the path specified.
However, when I change the command to:
START /MIN /WAIT c:\Sun\AppServer\jdk\bin\java -classpath . MyProg
the second laptop runs fine.
What do you think is happening?
Many thanks.
Cheers,
Howard

I'm sorry to have mis-communicated a bit with my original message.
The program MyProg is found by Java and does run in both cases. However, when the local java.exe copy is used, it runs completely on only one laptop. On the other, the java.exe copy must be at the c:\Sun\AppServer\jdk\bin\java location, otherwise the code isn't executed at all.
MyProg sets up a new directory on the C drive and copies files to it. It uses the following:
java.awt
java.io
java.nio
java.nio.charset
javax.swing
I don't understand why MyProg works with the local copy of java.exe on one machine but not on the other. Another person who's playing with MyProg reports the same situation.
Here are the two versions. Java.exe is within the ALC folder:
Working Version:
cd ALC
START /MIN /WAIT c:\Sun\AppServer\jdk\bin\java -classpath . MyProg
cd c:\
cd CopiedFolder
Not Working Version (results in "The system cannot find the path specified" for CopiedFolder):
cd ALC
START /MIN /WAIT java -classpath . MyProg
cd c:\
cd CopiedFolder
Thanx for all your help!
Cheers,
Howard
