1) java.exe definately installed 2) I do not think you installed JDK, but only the JRE is installed . Thus "java" is there but not "javac" Or other posibilty is that javac is not in "C:\Program Files\Java \jdk1.6.0_02\bin " Verify by looking at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin using windows explorer and see if you have the "javac.exe" 3) verify the javac,exe is in the "C:\Program Files\Java \jdk1.6.0_02\bin " as said above -- if yes , assuming the environment variable is set open a new command line -- and type in "javac" it should say something like "Usage: javac <options> <source files where possible options include: ...." if the file is there but -- your still getting error -- check your path varibale by typing in set path
4) this one is a bummer -- i do not really know why. See if a restart of windows help if not unistall java stuff, then just install just the jdk 5 ) how do know the server is running? Is there a icon on the right hand side of your task bar? then right ckick on it -- it should have an option to stop it , also in the Start menu look for "Sun" I think -- I had the similar problem then I remove that appliaction server. I also found it very annoying . BTW, the fact that the server is running makes me more confused about #4( acrobat cannot find java VM) Hope it helps On Feb 23, 8:26 pm, JKid314159 <lucky314...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi! > > I was preparing my new computer for this course and dowloaded the "JDK > + Java EE Bundle."
