Compiler won't run application

Question

I downloaded Java 1.3.1_04 and I believed i installed it correctly when I compile a class the message is cannot run application. I set all paths correctly My dos prompt says the the Jre is installed. Why won't it run

Answer 1

try putting the full path before the javac command:
example:
c:\jdk1.1.4\bin\javac MyClass.java
if this works, then put that path:
example:
c:\jdk1.1.4\bin\
into your environmental path settings either through right clicking on my computer, or using your autoexec.bat in your c: drive:
example:
SET PATH=c:\jdk1.1.4\bin\
or by using the command msconfig at the command prompt.
Good luck,
Tim
