System cannot find specified file. C:\WINDOWS\Javac.exe

[John Allison]

Problem is Javac.exe never existed there. After I installed the java plugin 1.3 from Sun, Textpad started looking for javac.exe in c:\windows. Before the plugin everything worked just fine. I have checked the paths and they are still correct, now I am stuck and looking for a little guidance.

Hi John

Please see our Java FAQ:

http://www.textpad.com/support/javafaq.html#registry

This explains where TextPad looks in the registry for where Jave.exe and Javac.exe are. If this is incorrect you can then correct these settings.

Or if you are not happy editing the registry try reading:

I hope that helps

Hi, I am having same problem. I tried reinstalling the javac.exe as instructed, and it worked for a single compile, then reverted to trying to find javac.exe in C:\Windows\System again. There is no reference in the registry at the specified location of anything but C:\jdk1.3 as JavaHome. Can anyone help? TIA very much... Bruce C.

Hi,
I installed JDK1.3 before trying to installing Textpad (as my proffessor told). On v4.3.1, everything seems to be working fine.
