D:\SCJPPR~1\7_GENE~1>javac TestSort1.java
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Once you have set the environment variables - You need to re enter the command prompt. Did you try that? And how did you set your PATH variable value?

[fred rosenberger]

on a command prompt you can type

echo %path%

and see what that window's current path is - make sure it includes the correct path to the java bin.

[Paul Okeke]

According the value you wrote, the path value is correct but I will advice you to do these checks.
Depending on who you set the path:

I am assuming that you run windows
If you have set it permanently on your machine in the environment variable, the confirm that there is a ";" separating any path preceding the one you just set.

Again open the command prompt and type echo %path%
You should get a list all the items in your path (each separated with ;) including the path to your JDK.

Else, open a new Command Prompt and type:
set path=
set path=thePathToYourJDK_JustAsYouIndicatedAbove

Considering that you posted to a two year old topic -- can we assume that you tried the suggestions in this topic and failed? And if so, can you tell us the details of what happened when you tried them?

Welcome to the Ranch
Did you open a new command line? The new PATH is not applied to the old command window.
How have you set your PATH environment variable? Please execute echo %PATH% and show us the output.

[zira ramli]

this is path from cmd

Those screenshots are illegible. Please post real text.

Welcome to the Ranch
Please don’t add new questions to an old thread; fortunately I can split off your question to a new thread.
Which environment variable is that? Why does it have so many components in? Does %JAVA_HOME% and with \?
