javac isn't recognized as an internal or external command

Question

I know this question has been asked a lot of times, but I tried a lot of solutions and none of them work. If I write "path" in prompt, I get this:

PATH=%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Windows\system32;C:\W
indows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\P
rogram Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static; ;C:\Program Files\Commo
n Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live; C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin;

So, it seems correct. What should I do?

Answer 1

There is an extra space in front of C:\... Remove that.

...; C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin;
    ^

Cheers,

Answer 2

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin;

extra space before this line.

now open the cmd type path command see... that path in the out put text
