I ran echo %JAVA_HOME% to find my path. I know it is the wrong path but I am not sure how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

C:\Users\Cynthia>echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33\C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.0.60_33\C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.0.60_33\%JAVA_HOME%\bin\bin\bin

C:\Users\Cynthia>

@alfasin or davidfransis I'm confused again? Do not put the % in the user variable or the system variable. How do I attach a file for you to see mmy variables?

Try adding the path to "jave home" in the PATH variable (separated by semicolon ;)

looks fine, I would add C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33 (without the bin) too.

I added as you suggested, on my cmd line I type %JAVA_HOME% C:\Program is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file or JAVA_HOME get returned 'JAVA_HOME is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Please advise

@slickery89 create a new file in notepad: line 1 @ECHO off and line 2: echo %JAVA_HOME% save it as 1.bat and run it from command prompt

@slickery89 run cd c:\ and then 1.bat

@alfasin I cd C:/ then at C:\1.bat then it returns on the next line C:\Program Files\Java

right, and that shows you that JAVA_HOME variable is defined!

btw, if you manually run from prompt: echo %JAVA_HOME% you should also get: C:\Program Files\Java
