Hi there,

I wrote a program and it compiles correctly from command line with (javac), but when I use (java) to run the application, I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: art (Unsupported major.minor version 50.0)

You're compiling with the javac from JDK 6, but running with an older version of Java. This often happens because Java installers will sometimes, but not always, put a copy of java.exe into c:\WINDOWS\ (or some equivalent) to support the Java Plugin. Either find that extra java.exe and replace it, or replace it with java.exe from JDK 6, or change your PATH environment variable to put the Java 6 bin directory first, or use an explicit path to invoke java.exe from that directory... etc.

Hi Ernest,

I went with one of the options you provided which is to change the path in the environment variables to take java.exe from the java bin directory as the first option. It is working now.

Thanks.
