You should also set JAVA_HOME to \Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21

Hi,

Thanks for your help. I actually i tried JAVA_HOME but it did not work. Then the administrator put the java files from d:\Program Files\... to C:\Program Files\ and change the path to both system and Administrator path variable to :

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin

It then worked.

Thanks.

Zulfi.
