Problem running Java from windows

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with an HSBC payment integration in C# (the first problem being it's not directly possible, and the other solution of using classic ASP won't work as I can't register the 32bit dlls on out 64bit server - dumbass HSBC). Anyway, I'm trying to attempt the workaround as specified in this SO thread - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...it-operating-system-to-work-with-regsvr32-exe

However I'm having trouble trying to 'javac' the .java file (sorry - I'm a windows man and a complete Java nooblet).

The error i get is:

I'll be eternally grateful of any help.

How did you install Java and have you checked your classpath?

It sounds like it can't find the java compiling class (javac).

I installed java by downloading and running the JDK package from sun's site.

How do I check the classpath?

Originally it couldn't find javac and gave an 'unrecognised command' error, but adding the environment variable fixed that and now i get this error which has me stuck.

Check your CLASSPATH and JAVAHOME environment vars.

You can find them in the same place you set the PATH variable.

My mistake, you only want JAVA_HOME these days. Been a while since I used Java!
