I tried everything, but I still can't get my Path working: javac.exe is not a recognized command

This is my PATH: Environment Variables

This is my environment variables: Not Working

My java bin folder contains java.exe

    Did you restart your console after updating path variables? Commented Jan 3, 2014 at 4:59
  • Did you edit your system variables before or after you opened that command window? Commented Jan 3, 2014 at 4:59
  • Yes, but I removed it and it still doesn't work. Commented Jan 3, 2014 at 5:04
  • Can you please try echo %PATH% in that same command window, just to see what you get? Commented Jan 3, 2014 at 5:05
  • Also, my Java is installed in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\ - that is, there's no _45. Can you please double check that yours isn't the same? Commented Jan 3, 2014 at 5:08

I solved it. Instead of using a GUI to set the path, I used:

Path = %PATH%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin

You likely have to use a space, and not a percent sign, in the path to the jdk (no quotes required).

But I actually recommend to use an IDE (e.g. Eclipse) which will do the compiling for you (and help you code much faster).

I use an IDE but I'm using this for another one of my programs. Thank you for your answer but I tried it already. I by mistake left in the percent.
You might have to edit the system variable 'Path' instead of creating a new user variable, or alternatively run the console from the jdk/bin directory.
No, I have it in the system Path variable too. You just can't see it in that picture. It's in the other picture.
