Thread: JDK and JRE is not recognized on separate account.

I recently make a new windows user account for the sole purpose of building android apps (to keep everything organized). The problem is, when I installed the JDK and JRe and set the paths in the environmental variables, and test if they were installed by doing 'javac' on the command prompt, it works on my administrator account, but it is not recognized on the user account I just made when I put 'javac' on the command prompt in the new user account. what is going on?

My administrator account and android user account are using the same environmental variables. But when I put 'javac' on the command prompt of my administrator account, it says a bunch of stuff, but when I put 'javac' on my android user account, it says it is not recognized.

A bunch of junk I can't understand

BTW, AndroidWorkshop is the new user account I created for android app development (to keep everything organize. I don't want to do everything on my main administrator account.)

I see a path to the JDK's bin folder in a variable named CLASS but not in the PATH variable.

Strange, I put the JDK link from my program files and pasted it into both the PATH and CLASS variable

The OS uses PATH to find exe files. Make sure the path to the JDK's bin folder is in the PATH variable.

It was from a long time ago (I don't exactly remember when), but it was when I couldn't run a Java code on eclipse that I went on some YouTube video and some guy said to make a class variable. It was basically copying everything from the PATH variable and pasting it into the CLASS variable (again it was a long time ago). But both the PATH and CLASS variables are the same:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10.0.1\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jre-10.0.1\bin;C:\Users\AndroidWorkshop\AppData\Local\ Android\Sdk\tools;C:\Users\AndroidWorkshop\AppData \Local\Android/Sdk\platform-tools

So do I just delete the CLASS variable?

But when I had the PATH and CLASS variables, both ran fine on my administrator account. But on the AndroidWorkshop account, it did not recognize, or could not find the JDK or JRE
