When I try to compile my program in textpad, it tells me that 'The system cannot find the file specified'. What does that mean and what do I need to do to get it to compile?

To be more specific, it says that javac.exe cannot be found when I try to compile. Please help!

Be careful not to download the JRE.
Go to the downloads section.
Then select Java2 Platform, Standard edition
Then select J2SE
***IMPORTANT****
Then select SDK - Windows - (all languages including English)
after you download and install that, you should have no problem.
Believe me! I've been installing and uninstalling way too much.

Worked like a charm. Thank you so much. I was going crazy trying to figure out what the heck to do!
