do this  1  run CMD  WIN R then type in CMD  2  Type this   set PATH  PATH   java installation path bin  Replace  java installation path  with the directory JDK is installed in  such as C  Program Files  x86  Java  Be sure to add the  bin after the JDK directory  because this points to  javac  and  java   BIN stands for  binaries    This way  you can run the Java compiler from anywhere  It is impossible to CD to the JDK directory because it has a space in Program Files  and DOS will not let you CD to these directories

Easiest way  search for javac exe in windows search bar  Then copy and paste the entire folder name and add it into the environmental variables path in advanced system settings

I m searched many answers that suggest me to type in cmd    set path     path  c program files java jdk1 7 0 bin    but this is WRONG   the right solution is that you leave  set  and just type  path    path  c program files java jdk1 7 0 bin   P s  of course you have to replace  jdk1 7 0  folder by your current java version folder  This works well on win 7 32bit  but I think it also works on win 8 - try it

Start off by opening a cmd exe session  changing directory to the  program files  directory that has the javac exe executable and running   javac exe   If that doesn t work  reinstall java   If that works  odds are you will find  in doing that task  that you ve installed a 64 bit javac exe  or a slightly different release number of javac exe  or in a different drive  etc  and selecting the right entry in your path will become child s play   Only use the semicolon between directories in the PATH environment variable  and remember that in some systems  you need to log out and log back in before the new environment variable is accessible to all environments

You don t have jdk1 7 0 17 in your PATH - check again  There is only JRE which may not contain  javac  compiler   Besides it is best to set JAVA HOME variable  and then include it in PATH

Go to my computer  Right click properties  Go to advanced system settings  Go to environment variables  In user variables for user click on new top new button  not on system variables   Set variable name as  Path Set the value of that variable to  C  Program Files Java jdk1 7 0 76 bin  Click ok  Click ok  Click ok     Now you re set  Type javac in cmd  All javac options will be displayed

As far as I can see you have the JRE in your PATH  but not the JDK   From a command prompt try this   set PATH  PATH  C  Program Files  x86  Java jdk1 7 0 17 bin   Then try javac again - if this works you ll need to permanently modify your environment variables to have PATH include the JDK too
