I've installed java(jre) on window 7. But I am not able to run java from command prompt .

I've set my JRE_HOME to "c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6 " in Environment variables.But still it's not working.kindly help..

Make sure, that the bin folder of your JRE is added to the PATH variable. JAVA_HOME is irrelevant here.

JAVA_HOME is a convention - some tools use that environment variable to pick the location of the right java version. They use it to construct a path like this:

%JAVA_HOME%/bin/java -version

(that should work, by the way)

Add the location of the bin directory to the front of your PATH environment variable.

The simplest way to get a default Java is to go to http://java.com and let it install what it feels like. This will be available in your PATH.

Use this command at cmd (assuming java is installed at "C:\Program Files\Java" and version is 1.6.0):

set path=;"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin\";
