[SOLVED] Setting environmental variables windows Vista

[peranha]

Anybody know if vista has a bug on setting variables, I installed the java JDK, and I set the variables, but they do not take affect.  when ever I type in javac myfile.java, I get the `javac` is not a recognized internal or external command   Error message.

 

Here is a screen shot of the variables, looks like it should work to me.

 

EDIT:

 

If I put the whole path to the javac.exe file, it will work fine.  But I cannot run java.exe I get

 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

You should add the Java Bin folder to the PATH (System Variable) instead.

 

Ensure you restart Vista after changes.

Not necessary, just open a new console. The old ones will still have the old PATH loaded.

Yeah I tried a new window, but that didnt work, Reset the computer, and still not luck.  I set the path in the Path variable as well, Still no luck.

What does your PATH variable look like? Oh yeah, and use the system variables. Not the user ones.

C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:\Program Files\PHP\;%GTK_BASEPATH%\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\9.0\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin\

 

The path to the javac.exe is

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin

[Daniel0]

Hmm... I don't know then. JDK works fine for me on Vista when its bin folder is in PATH.

[peranha]

Yeah, I dont know I can create the class file by typing in the whole path to the javac file, so I am not too upset with that, but I cannot run the java.exe file to execute it.  I keep getting this.

Not sure, I really have Vista.  It started to work now after 6+ hours of working on it.  Thanks for the help.
