Problem

I just bought a Win 7 PC, installed jdk1.6 and Netbeans, NB works fine, but when I did "java -version" in a command prompt, it can't find java, why ? How to fix it ? Edit : I thought the installation process should set the path correctly, how come it didn't ?

Fix for: Java installed, but "java -version" showed nothing, why?

Low Risk

The JDK installer for windows does not update the path environment variable. The installation docs describe how to do this. See item #4 on that page.
