How to install Apache Ant on Windows 7

Question

I want to install Apache ant on windows. Here is some information below:

• http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html
• Error installing Ant: ANT_HOME is set incorrectly

I followed its descriptions and step by step but it still cannot work. I think the entire environment variables I set are correct. May please someone helps me? And some copies from cmd.

C:\>echo %ANT_HOME%
C:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.9.4

C:\>echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_34

C:\>java -version
java version "1.6.0_34"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_34-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.9-b04, mixed mode, sharing)

C:\>ant 
is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

My Ant version is 1.9.4

Solution

I think the path is not set properly.

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0
set ANT_HOME=D:\software\apache-ant-1.9.4
set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME%\bin

Edit: fixed PATH definition
