javac?

[Arthur Okeke]

i don,t have the bin subfolder in my jdk folder i think it makes it impossible for javac to work as my cmd does not recognize 'javac'

[Stephan van Hulst]

Have you set the PATH environment variable?

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

[Arthur Okeke]

yes i have installed jdk1.6.0_22 and i have set my enviroment variables but when i try to run "java -version" on my command promt it says
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
perable program or batch file.'
also I DON,T HAVE A BIN SUBFOLDER..

[Stephan van Hulst]

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.
