Hi sanjeeva

Hope you have installed the required JDK version.

After installing JDK, set the following enviornmental variables

JAVA_HOME = "it should be the JDK installation directory"

PATH = "the same jdk directory"

Thanks

you have to right click on 'my Computer' icon and go to 'Properties'. Then, 'Advanced' -> Environment variables

there you have to set JAVA_PATH/JAVA_HOME or PATH variable as per the path of your java installed directory the 'user'.

and append the same java directory string in the variable PATH for the 'system' variable too (PATH for the section 'system' is already set with other program directories contained in it).

Either go via start button or you might be having my computer icon on the desktop.

Hi Sanjeeva,

At first see where java is installed i.e JDK directory, as per as my knowledge it will be in WINDOWS directory like C drive.

For setting environmental variable (i.e JAVA_HOME,PATH), please follow the below link

you probably need Java 1.4.2.

go get it at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/SAPsite/download.html

Hi Sanjeeva,

Have you set the enviornmental variable as I mentioned previously.

You can check whether the variables have been set correctly by entering SET command in command prompt.

After setting the variable please restart the WINDOWS once and then check

I hope your problem will resolve then

Thanks
