Answer 3

You need to set your Java classpath.



This means that when you enter "javac" your computer does not know what that command does. When you set your classpath, you computer will then know where to look to see what "javac" does.



The following link has instructions on how to do this.

Answer 4

attempt placing the classpath employing command on the spot. set classpath="C:application filesjavajdk1.6.0_18bin". than sort javac and hit enter. If long record is displayed with java instructions than your direction is desperate. It the path is desperate than reproduction an identical direction and paste it on your environment variable. Cheers!!!
