I need to set the Environmental Variable in Windows XP (HOME).

The instructions call for adding "JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.0"

What I did was do to Control Panel, Clicked on Systems and then the Advanced Options; and then Environmental Variables[i/].

In the System Variables section, I clicked on New and then entered:

Variable Name : Java_HOME
Variable Value : C:\j2sdk1.4.0

BUT when I attempt to run the application that requires the setting of JAVA_HOME , the application states that "The specific file was not found JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\java.exe"

What have I done INCORRECTLY????

This is driving me crazy. All assistance is TREMENDOUSLY appreciated
 
Try a '/' instead of '\'. Java seems to be picky about that sometimes. Also, have you rebooted? Mike Wills
