Java + Windows 7

I have installed Java onto the computer running windows 7.

In advanced > System Settings > Environment Variables > PATH

This is what I have added:

Quote:

---

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin

---

In ClassPath I have added the same thing.

In CMD, I cannot seem to compile anything. I get the error: 'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Please can someone tell me how to fix this so I can compile java files?

Also, I accidentally deleted what was already inside ClassPath and Path, I'd appreciate if someone could tell me what were the default values! To enter a new path do I separate it with a semi-colon?

Thank you.

That is definitely incorrect. For now don't define an environment variable 'classpath'. Set your 'path' variable to the directory where your javac.exe file etc. are stored. I don't know what was in your path variable before so I can't help you there.

kind regards,
