The path to the directory containing the jvm.dll must be included in your %PATH% Environment Variable. To do this, proceed as follows --

  1. Use the Windows Explorer's Search feature to locate the jvm.dll, and make note of the directory in which it is found. If more than one is found, work with the most recent.
  2. Start -> Control Panel -> System
  3. Click to the Advanced tab.
  4. Click the Environment Variables button.
  5. In the System variables pane, locate and select the environment variable named PATH.
  6. Click Edit which will bring up a new dialog containing Variable name and Variable value fields.
  7. Add the directory path from step #1 to the back end of the already present "Variable value" field, taking care not to delete anything that is already present. Directory paths are separated by a semi-colon ';', so you should usually put a semicolon before the path you're adding. Typically, the new text will resemble --


    ;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\client

  8. Finally, click OK to accept the changes.
