hi,

i have just installed java ( jdk 6u12-windows-i586-p and jre 6u12-windows-i586-p)
i have installed in d:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_12

now i set the classpath as .;D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin; in system variables
there is also JAVA_PATH in system variables which is D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\jre

i set the above 2 variables

the following is by default
QTJAVA which has value D:\lib\ext\QTJava.zip

in the user variables i have
JAVA_HOME D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin;
PATH 3;D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin;D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\jre;

now when i run path java paths is not coming
is there anyother way to check and is the settings right??

thanks in advance

do not use " " (space)

JAVA_HOME=your installation directory
path=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%path%
classpath:directory which you want to run classes

it's OK

Do not set your CLASSPATH at all.

Nonsense.

And don't e-mail people

You have no need to set a classpath in the first place. Leave your Java installation in place. Read the installation instructions, particularly no 4 about setting your PATH. Do what it says to "set permanently." An incorrect path is characteristically recognised by a "javac is not recognized" error message. Find the Java™ Tutorials, and there is a "common problems" page in there.

You're welcome

If you go through the first part of the Java™ Tutorials you will find a "common problems" page, with a link to how to set the PATH permanently. You will probably do well to set your PATH permanently.
