And are you sure you have a JDK not a JRE?

Sorry, I missed the "don't" part. Anyway, I would recommend reinstalling the JDK.

Can you tell us in which directory you looked for the bin folder?
Usually its in: Java\jdk1.6.0_20\bin

With what value did you set your PATH environment variable?

If your JDK installation directory really does not have a bin subfolder, then something is wrong with your JDK installation. Try re-installing the JDK.
