just getting started.

hi, i wanted to run some java files a friend gave me, he told me to download the all in one bundle from the following link - Error : Invalid path, \bin\javac.exe -classpath

it basically installed a folder in my C drive called Sun and so on.

so i open j creator and try to run the java file and i get the following error?

Error : Invalid path, \bin\javac.exe -classpath

why is this so? can anyone help?

Where did the Java installation go? It almost certainly did not (or should not) have instealled under your root C: driver folder. You need to run java.exe with the fully qualified location of where it was installed, or you need to modify your PATH environment variable to point to that location.

You have to add your java directory to the "path"

rightclick my computer -> properties -> Advanced-> Environment Variables

Look for "path" and add your java bin directory to the path

PATH=C:\windows\system;<much other paths>; c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\bin; (if c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\bin is the bin directory)

Should work :)
