How to set the java path and classpath in windows-64bit

Question

I have installed java on windows-64bit OS. but when I execute javac, it is failing with the

error message no such command is available". I have created following environmental variable

CLASSPATH C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\lib

Answer 1

Add the appropriate javac path to your PATH variable. java.exe will be found under the bin directory of your JDK. E.g.

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\bin
