    Default How to instal JDK 8 in a drive other than C

    Hi,

    I have installed JDK-8u11-windows-i586 in to D drive as i cant install in C drive, because the laptop which i am using is office laptop and it is not allowing me to do so.
    after installing i added the environment variable with the name PATH and given the path as 'D:\VIJAY\Mobile App\bin\'.
    after doing all this, i tried compiling a small program, i am getting the following error....please help me to fix this error...

    Error: Could not find or load main class com.sun.tools.javac.Main

    Thanks in advance,
    VIJ

    Strange... First thing I would try is a reboot. Then in the command prompt:

    java -version
    javac -version

    To verify the environmental variables are sound.

    Thanks for the reply. I have rebooted my system and tried to use the above mentioned two commands. When i typed in and entered, i am not getting anything. This is how i am entering the details.

    1) java -jdk1.8.0_11 --> i didnt get anything and Run window is disappeared
    2) javac -jdk1.8.0_11 --> i didnt get anything and Run window is disappeared

    Please help...

    Thanks,
    VIJ

    --- Update ---

    My another question is, can we really install JDK into any other drive other than C? i mean successfully...Because in the path on D drive where i have installed, it doesnt show up like 'Java --> jdk1.8.0_11'. This hierarchy doesnt exists. i directly has bin folder underneath D drive.

    Yes you can install it on D:/ drive.

    If you have Windows XP: Start -> Run -> cmd
    If you have Windows 7: Start -> All programs -> Accesories -> Command Prompt
    If you have Windows 8: Start -> All applications -> Windows System -> Command prompt


    This will open a black screen you can type in called the command prompt. Now type *exactly*:

    java -version

    and then

    javac -version
