trouble making path work for 'javac' is not recognized as an intern...

Hi -

I am trying to compile my HelloApp.java program and I get this message: 'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

I know to go into the system and change my Environment Variable, but I'm not sure what to change it to. Right now I have it as: ...ger\;C:\foo\bar\> C:\java\samples\bin\javac Filename.java

I've just installed java_app_platform_sdk-5_01-windows.

Will you please give me step-by-step instructions to make my compiler work?

Thank you.

You need to set the PATH to the bin folder which is located inside the JDK folder.For example:PATH = "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin"Adjust that path to the location of your bin folder.

It's installed with the JDK in the path shown in the reply above. It's not installed with the JRE. Did you install the JDK or the JRE?

Its already solved: i installed with de windows installer (jdk-1_5_0_10-windows-i586-p.exe) jdk and jre in the same folder. With another installer (jdk-6-rc-windows-i586), in separate folders: no problem. Thank you.
