Struggling Installing Java SE Development Kit 6.

[Rip_Uk]

So i have decided to learn java, I have downloaded:

Windows AMD64 Platform - Java(TM) SE Development Kit 6 Beta 2
http://192.18.108.208/ECom/EComTick...eta2-oth-JPR:16/jdk-6-beta2-windows-amd64.exe

and installed it fine, then followed these instructions on the site to create my first program.. would you believe it the "Hello World!" one

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/win32.html

but when I try to compile my program using the Command Prompt.

by typing javac HelloWorldApp.java in the same directory as my program (C:\java) I get this message;

'javac' is not recognized as an internal or exteneral command, operable program or batch file.

I am running Windows XP x64 and I have tried the 32 version with the same outcome, I would be very grateful if someone can set me right on this problem as I cannot find any help from Sun Microsystems' forums or help guides.

I have posted an email to Sun Microsystems experts for an answer but if anyone can help please let me know, I was looking forward to learning this.

I worked it out, I just needed to set the Paths in the user variables.
