Installer can't find JDK v7u1

[mathmad2008]

[RESOLVED]

I recently installed JDK 7u1 and then tried to install leJOS version 0.9. However, when I run the installer, it can't find the JDK.

Screenshot:



Any idea why this doesn't work?

You posted some screenshots. But none of them makes me understand what actually happens. Is the installer refusing to continue at some point? Or what exactly is the problem?
Maybe, you post a screenshot of the error message if there is any?

Also, you have a 64Bit JDK installed. LeJOS doesn't work with a 64Bit JDK. Please install a 32Bit JDK.

Hi,
What happens if you type javac.exe -version into the cmd prompt, this is the command that the installer uses to test for an installed JDK... Also you need to have a 32bit version not 64bit for leJOS...

It is!? Because as far as I remember, javac.exe is not in the PATH on Windows unless you add it manually. Or am I mistaken?

Edit: The tutorial clearly suggest the following:

You will need to add the JDK bin directory to your system or user PATH, so that commands such as javac and java can be called from a command prompt. If you do not know how to do this, see the "Setting up environment variables" section below.

Yes it is javac that the install script tests for. This may not be the best test, but it is the JDK and not just the JRE that we need to have installed... The test can be seen at line 3087 here:

In the first screenshot, it says "No JDK installed".

I'll try installing the 32bit version.

In my last post, I quotes a text from the tutorial which explains what you should do. You should add the bin directory of the JDK to your PATH variable.

I installed the 32-bit version of JDK and added the bin to my Path variable, and it works now.

Thanks so much!
