I just installed jdk2 release 1.4.1 and I set the variables under User
environment variables as
Variable: JAVA
Value: C:\j2sdk1.4.1\bin

but when i got into the dos prompt using cmd via the run command, i get the
following error:

'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

any body know what is going on and if so can someone help me.

you have to set 'path'.
add 'path' variable to system variables of your system.
and set the value of the variable as c:\j2sdk1.4.1\bin

re-run cmd, and run javac.

Brian,

This is an issue with your OS configuration, in particular the PATH
environment variable. You have a couple of ways to fix this:

1) Use the full path when referencing the javac command
(C:\j2sdk1.4.1\bin\javac.exe)
2) Set the PATH in the local shell to include the C:\j2sdk1.4.1\bin
directory (set PATH=%PATH%;C:\j2sdk1.4.1\bin)
3) Edit the PATH environment variable (user or system) using the Windows
GUI. Be sure to start a new command shell afterwards.

HTH,
Ray
