I installed the jdk and jre here:

C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin
and
C:\Java\jre6

currently my environment variables are as follows:

System Variables,
PATH=C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:

and

CLASSPATH=.;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip

any ideas what is going on????

I get the following when I run these two commands:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

C:\Windows\syst
em32>cd c:/dev/java

c:\dev\java>javac HelloWorldApp.java
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

c:\dev\java>java -version

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_23-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode, sharing)

also

i think i have the jre installed twice, the one i installed today is:
C:\Java\jre6

the original jre was here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\lib\ext
\QTJava.zip


not sure if that is an issue. I am all ears though... Thanks in
advance!!!

What the heck is that thing above?

Try to get it to work like this first, then we'll worry about the PATH 
variable.

C:\Users\Brenden>"c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin"\javac
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
where possible options include:
   -g                         Generate all debugging info
   -g:none                    Generate no debugging info
....

You should have installed the JDK to "C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24".

Why does this show Java being in "Program Files (x86)"?  That's not where you 
said you put Java.

How many question marks does it take to indicate an interrogative?

Perhaps the PATH should include "C:\Program Files (x86)"\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin?

It clearly is an issue since you're having trouble.  It's not a bad idea to 
install your public JRE into the same Windows directory each time.

I am suspicious because of your statement that you installed the JDK to the 
"bin/" subdirectory of where you should have put it.  If that isn't the issue, 
then your suspicion that the two installations conflict might be involved.

It is possible to have multiple versions of Java on one machine, but you have 
to do it properly.

I should have written that per my installation of the JDK, javac is
contained here:

C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin

Also,

C:\Windows\syst
> > em32>cd c:/dev/java

should read

C:\Windows\system32>cd c:/dev/java

Sorry. I shouldn't have even included that line in the original
posting and I should follow Usenet etiquette as mentioned.

That worked:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

C:\Windows\system32>c:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin\javac

  -g:none                    Generate no debugging info
....


NOTE: that was an unneeded line with an accidental break in the
original post. Sorry.

I went and checked my own path.  I think it needs to end with a 
backslash.  Your path to Java didn't.  (All the other paths in the PATH 
variable also end with a backslash, btw.)


Also try manually adding the path to the PATH variable right on the 
command line.  Use copy-and-paste to make sure you get the spelling 
right.  Once you are sure you've got the correctly spelled path on your 
clip board, set it permanently on the Windows control panel thingy for 
environment variables.

C:\Users\Brenden>where javac
INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).

C:\Users\Brenden>set PATH=%PATH%;c:\Program Files

OK, so you have two versions of Java,
one in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6"
and one in "C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24

You did mention,
> the original jre [sic] was here:
> C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip

which seems wrong.  We'll disregard that one.

The business about path elements ending with a backslash is a red herring.

You obviously have a path issue but the path you showed us seems correct at 
first glance.

Tell us what this does:

   cd c:/dev/java
   dir
   C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\javac HelloWorldApp.java

I uninstalled all traces of a previous install of the JRE associated
with QuickTime, that was in the more typical install directory, 'C:
\Program Files (x86)\Java'.

What is left of Java is what I installed yesterday:
C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24
C:\Java\jre6

At least I can compile now. More advice would be great. Thanks for all
the help thus far.

JAVAC.exe is nog in your PATH

If you add "c:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin\" to your path than you could do
C:\dev\java> javac HelloWorldApp.java

wait, the runtime is already in your path (C:\Java\jre6\bin)

therefore this should work already
C:\dev\java> java HelloWorldApp

Take the JRE out of your path and put the JDK into it.  The answer is obvious 
when you compare your PATH to what you're attempting.

Turns out I just needed to reboot. Everything from where I was last at

The DOS window needs to be opened after any changes to the environment

This is always true, but with some versions of Windows, you also
need to reboot for environment variable changes to be seen.  Vista
I think.

More like Windows 2000 and earlier.
