Installation inssue

-Moved this post from the OFBiz general forum-

I have just begun using OFBiz and I am struggling to start up running Windows XP.

Downloaded latest JDK file from Java and set JAVA_HOME on system variable to program_files\java\jdk1.6.0_23

Unzipped latest OFBiz bundle and when running in command prompt I receive:
"F:program_files\java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin\java" -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -jar ofbiz.jar
The system cannot find the file path specified.

Looking through other topics on this forum I attempted fixes that worked for other users but cannot get it to run.

Attempted to run ant run-install and received a similar message

Thoughts?

unless your created program_files there is none
there is a Program Files
java is case sensitive.
it is best you make a folder F:\jdk\jdk1.6.0_23 to put it in.
JAVA_HOME=F:\jdk\jdk1.6.0_23

Hi Brian,

If that is exactly the message you're getting, you need a backslash after the F:, and if you're following the Windows convention Program Files has a capital P and F and a space, not an underscore. File path names that include spaces must be enclosed in quotes.

I agree with BJ that a short path without spaces would be simpler and less error-prone.

Cheers
