I Cant Compile

[Matt1000]

Hi,

I was wondering could anyone help with a problem im having, textpad will not compile anything. The error i get when i try to compile is 'The System Could No Be Specified' and at the top of the error box it says 'C:\Windows\system32\javac.exe' I've looked at other posts but there different problems.

Ive had a look at J2EE 1.4 SDK but its 100mb and ive only got a dial up.

So could anyone help?

Thanks

Just a thought, as in "I've had a look at J2EE", what Java is installed on your system? Try Start->Run->cmd <enter>, type java -version <enter>.
I get

Code: Select all

C:\Documents and Settings\user>java -version
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode, sharing)

If that's ok, ie. you have Java installed, try looking at this reply by helios. A bit extreme, but simple.
Sorry to hear about the dial up you've got, you could try a friend and have him or her download for you and burn a CD-ROM, also try your local bookshop or library for magazines that have the name "java" on their cover, CD's/DVD's are quite commonly free with them now. I hope this helps!
