Some help please....
I installed JDK version 7 to the following directory on my Windows 7:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_06
This appears to have been successful. I then went to update my JAVA_HOME and path thusly:
JAVA_HOME
c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0.06
path (added the last item to existing path)
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Ulead Systems\MPEG;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;
I then go out to the command prompt to
test it with
java -version and get the following errors:
C:\Users\Jane>java -version
Error: opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.
I can execute the java -version from the JDK1.7.0.06\bin directory, but nowhere else.
Any assist would be appreciated
