I also tried old dos paths by writing my own batch file that says this. @echo off set path=c:\progra~1\java\jdk1.6.0_u20\bin;%path% ;That works with java. But not javac or jar. set classpath=c:\progra~1\java\jdk1.6.0_u20\lib\tols.jar;%classpath% I don't know if the above set works or not. As far as these ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME I have no idea what to do with them. Bill

[...] Note: in Windows 7 (and if I recall correctly, Vista�but I'm not 100% sure about that), user-specific environment variables are set in the User Accounts control panel. The "Advanced�/Environment" dialog has a "User variables�" section, but it's unreliable for non-admin accounts, because you can only even get to the dialog using admin credentials (and so it always is setting environment variables for some admin account). Of course, if one is setting system-wide environment variables, this is not a concern. For my own Java use, I set the variables only for the user account I am using for the dev work (which is never an admin account), but I suppose in other situations system-wide settings are called for.

It should work with javac and jar. Does that directory contain the two exe's? > set classpath=c:\progra~1\java\jdk1.6.0_u20\lib\tols.jar;%classpath% You should not set CLASSPATH. > I don't know if the above set works or not.

Similar for ANT_HOME and ant. Arne
