I installed j2re-1_4_2-windows-i586-iftw.exe into my computer, to my knoweledge the install dir was here: C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin

All I can find are the java.exe and javaw.exe files. What happened to the javac.exe file??? Do I need a different version or what?? I did a search and javac.exe is not on my computer.

Please HELP!!!

The Java Compiler (javac.exe) is existing only in the JDK (Java Development Kit), not in the Runtime Environment.

The folder name j2re1.4.2 is typical for the runtime environment, not for the JDK.

Go to java.sun.com and get the Java Development Kit and install it.
