JAVA_HOME should point to the very directory the jdk is installed into. Set the JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06 You might also want to update your PATH so that it contains %JAVA_HOME%\bin Your env variables should look like that then: JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_06 PATH=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Progr am Files\Common Files\Adaptec Shared\System;%JAVA_HOME%\bin This should make it work. cheers, /dd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
