Title: 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Version: 3.1.2

OS: windows 7 64 bit

Java Version: the latest version..

Description of Problem:

the command prompt that comes up after I hit "launch" in the tekkit server folder says this:

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I have tried re-downloading Java twice now, so it is the latest version. I'm not sure what to do now, and I have five friends that won't get off my dick about hosting it. (I'm the only one living at home while in college, therefore the only one able to host a 24/7 server, so that all can enjoy some gameplay whenever they want)

Please.. for the love of whatever may be holy, help me.

Ahh... this one. Okay, well, as it turns out, the batch script they ship with the server may as well be a text file saying hello world for the good it does. Try this:

@ECHO OFF

SET BINDIR=%~dp0

CD /D "%BINDIR%"

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar tekkit.jar

PAUSE

If you are running 64 bit java, replace Program Files (x86) with Program Files

Okay, you *should* have java & installed, but if not, install it. it's the most recent version and the only way nether ores will work.
