Compiling error
Hi everyone!
I'm new to Java and am having problems compiling my first program. I would appreciate any help/pointers as to what I'm doing wrong. Whenever I compile my program I get the following:
java_compile_error.JPG
The path to my JRE is : c:\Progarm Files\java
This is where I also stored my first program titled "MyProgram.java"
But when I compile the porgram it ciomes up with the error message as shown above.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit with JRE7.
Thanks for any help/assistance.

Re: Compiling error
You need to add javac to the Path. See the following for an explanation:
PATH and CLASSPATH (The Java™ Tutorials > Essential Classes > The Platform Environment)
As the article describes, adding it to the path is System dependent - there are tons of explanations on how to do so if you search google for something like "path java windows", perhaps including your windows version.

Re: Compiling error
Hi Copeg.
I went to "Control panel>System and Security>System" then chose "Advanced System Settings", clicked on the "Environment Variables" and updated the CLASSPATH(See picture):

Yet when I try to compile MyProgram.java I still get the same error, as per my first posting. Any ideas as to what I might be missing?
TIA,
Brian :-)
Re: Compiling error
Try this code in your compiler, C:\Program Files\Java\javac.exe
Also, if you installed java in the Program Files (x86) folder, use this
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\javac.exe
Another thing, sounds like you don't have JDK, you will need this, if you do try this.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin\javac.exe
or
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin\javac.exe
Your javac shouldn't be in just the "java" folder, it should be in the bin folder marked by your version.
