Editing Path Variable

[Zapadlo]

Hopefully just a quick question, I'm trying to set-up JDK on my system and trying to add the bin location to the path in environment variables. However the button to 'Edit' the path is greyed out. I can create my own environment variables but not edit the Path. Advice?

Are you logged in as admin?

Yep

EDIT: Nevermind. Won't work.

I disregarded this solution as I assumed that will overwrite my current PATH value. However if someone confirms this as a valid solution I will give it a go

EDIT: :)

You don't need to be logged in as admin. UAC allows you to elevate privileges on the fly:

Open the start menu -> right click on Computer then select Properties -> Click on "Advanced system settings" (the UAC elevation prompt will appear) -> click on Environment variables button

Ah, excellent. That worked, thank you very much.

If I may, another question. Now javac is being found but: 'java <classname>' returns class not found:

C:\Users\Zapadlo\workspace\Test\src\test_1>javac Sample.java

C:\Users\Zapadlo\workspace\Test\src\test_1>java Sample
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Sample

Could not find the main class: Sample.  Program will exit.

This is Sample Class:

package test_1;

public class Sample {

	public static void main (String[] Args) {

		System.out.println("Hello World?");
		int i, j;
		i = 5;
		j = 6;
		System.out.println("i + j = " + (i+j));

	}

}
