Javac is not found
compilation, java, javac, windows-8
Solution
As far as I can see you have the `JRE` in your `PATH`, but not the `JDK`.
From a command prompt try this:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_17\bin
Then try `javac` again - if this works you'll need to permanently modify your environment variables to have `PATH` include the `JDK` too.
Problem
I'm running Windows 8 and I can not get javac to work. I have set my PATH in environmental variables to `C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_17\bin` I have tried both with and without ';' but to no avail. I recently had this issue on my desktop and adding ; worked but it's not in this case. I have made sure that javac does exist in the bin too. Any suggestions on fixes would be greatly appreciated. EDITS echo %PATH% gives: ``` C:\Users\Arktri\Desktop>echo %PATH% C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client\; C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client\; C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows; C:\Windows\System32\Wbem; C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\; C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x86; C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x64; C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL; C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT; C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL; C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;; C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin ``` And the exact error is: 'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
