why doesn't Java SDK support Windows!?!? with pics

[ShawnD1]

Java's website says that Windows is supported but it's really not, why? i tried installing 1.4.1 but the installer would freeze at 100% and never really finish. CPU would be at 100% but it wouldn't actually be doing anything. i installed the 1.2.2 SDK (and later 1.3.1)with no problems and you can see it in the list of installed programs here:

but when i try to compile something using the command 'javac' (java compile) it says the command does not exist! HOW BS!

seriously wtf is going on.

how is this a java problem?

seems more OS.

since 1.2.2 and (and later 1.3.1) worked on OS.

where did you install 1.2.2 (and later 1.3.1)?

That worked.

where did you install 1.4?

wtf back at ya...

the default directories which were C:/j2sdk%version% for example C:/j2sdk1.4.1_01

[qball]

ok,


C:/j2sdk%version% for example C:/j2sdk1.4.1_01


your command prompt says:

c:\tmp">"

if javac used to exist...

[ShawnD1]

javac is SUPPOSED to be a recognized console command from then on just like Perl's ppm command. you put in the command then the file name. look at how dos responds to Perl's ppm command. Java should respond to its own javac command but it doesn't.
