Javac is not found

Question

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\\

Answer 1

I'm searched many answers that suggest me to type in cmd:

set path = "%path%;c:program files\java\jdk1.7.0\bin"

but this is WRONG!

the right solution is that you leave "set" and just type

path = %path%;c:program files\java\jdk1.7.0\bin

P/s: of course you have to replace "jdk1.7.0" folder by your current java version folder. This works well on win 7 32bit, but I think it also works on win 8 - try it!
