x64 jdk HELP ANYONE
hello everyone,
first, i am running over windows xp x64 bit platform.
2 gb ram, gfeorce 7 256 mb, 3.2 pentium D dual core processor.
i don't know if the OS i have is a problem by itself concerning running java aplications!
i downloaded a package from the sun, that contains:
- jdk1.5.0_09
- jre1.5.0_09
- netbeans-5.0
i installed the package, and i isolated the jdk and jre to the folowing location:
C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_09
C:\Java\jre1.5.0_09
i entered the MS-Dos, and performed a simple task to see if the java is working...
i entered the command "javac" and "java", and i got the following errors in dos.
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
i then entered "system properties --> advanced --> environment variables"
and i passed in the "Path", the link of the jdk, which is:
"C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin"
then i restarted my pc, entered the MS-Dos, I tried the commands "java" and "javac" again, and i got the same errors...
hmm allright, i uninstalled everything, and remove the adress from the "environment variables" and went back to zero
i downloaded the folowing installation files:
- jdk-1_5_0_09-windows-amd64.exe
- jre-1_5_0_09-windows-amd64.exe
and accordingly, i installed them back to the same localtion, that i will repeat now
C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_09
C:\Java\jre1.5.0_09
and did the process all over again in the "environment variables", and restarted the pc, and then entered the dos inside the windows, and tried the "java" and "javac" commands again... and all i got was "AGAIN":
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
can anyone help, i really need help, thank you guys in advance!
