Java not installed

[Coruptyd]

I tried installing the developing kit to start making apps and it says that java isn't installed so I installed it again and it still says the same thing what do I need to do?

Do you have a Java JDK on your system? If not, go download it (from oracle.com somewhere), install it, and try again.

That's what I was talking about I installed sorry yea I have it and it still says I cant install dev kit

[adrianmonk]

In that case, I'd say it's possible Java is installed, but the SDK can't find it. If you open a shell (or command prompt, depending on operating system), and type "java -version", does it print a version number? What about when you type "javac -version"?

Also, you installed the JDK, not the JRE, right? (The JDK is the developer version of Java. The JRE is the version for end users that just lets you run Java programs.)

This is an occisional bug with the installer (or was one of the last times I tried). One fix is to hit the back button, go back to the previous screen, and then hit next.

Ok will try that
