In my windows machine , i can execute “java” without having PATH variable pointing to JDKs java.exe.But i am not able to run “javac” in the same way.Please tell me ,what could be the reason.

C:\Documents and Settings\USR1>java -version
java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing)

C:\Documents and Settings\USR1>javac -version
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Documents and Settings\USR1>echo %PATH%
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Ahead\Lib\

Thx

    Sounds like there is an instance of java.exe in either your windows or windows\system directory. You can always search for all occurrences of java.exe.
