After downloaded and install JDK 7 on Windows 8, now open a Command Prompt window to run java or javac...!!!
you can optionally set PATH environment variable to JDK so that you can conveniently run the JDK executable files (javac.exe, java.exe, javadoc.exe, and so forth) from any directory without having to type the full path of the command.
To set path, search "Environment Variables" in "Settings", click "Edit the system environment variables".
Click "Environment Variables".
Select System variables of Path, and click Edit...
Add the location of the bin folder of the JDK installation, in my case it is "D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11\bin".
Now, you can close and re-open Command Prompt window, type java and javac to varify your setting.
as you shown in your screen shots, I've tried the commands, and when I executed the "where java" command it just showed me "C:\Windows\System32\java.exe" and no other...
ReplyDeleteI also tried the execution of "where javac" and it has shown me "INFO:Could not find files for the given pattern(s)"
I've installed the latest version of java, i.e jdk 1.7.0_17
Please help me.
The javac is not found again!!
ReplyDeletei will tell you why.. because where you see This
Delete[D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11\bin]
it will not work.. because java always goes in [C:\]
So what doe's it mean's ? it means that you have to use This
[C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11\bin]
if this will not work then go to C:\program files\java and find it and paste in cmd
Thanks for Your Antention..
And Remember Run "CMD" always with "Administrator Right's"

ReplyDeletei m using windows 8.1 in this PATH variable is already occupied by NVIDIA Graphic drivers so if i edit this variable with java is it possible that my graphic card will not work??
You are not replace the original PATH, is to EDIT by adding to the end of original PATH:
Delete;D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11\bin
depends on your installed path
I just replaced my entire directory with C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_20\bin how do I retrieve the original dircetory and fix this?
Deletei have done the same but no effect on NVIDIA graphics card or other. everything seems to run fine.
Deleteyes it's working Thanks :)

ReplyDeleteFor me its not working yet i changed the path and i cant compile it can u help me?
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to append the path for java.exe from within a batch file? Ie., just add it on through a batch file rather than having to change each computer's settings?
