25. Remember the “Install to:” location on Step 12? That is the
line you need to add to the end of the path. Be sure to
prefix the location with a ; and post fix it with bin
Therefore you want to add:
;<YOUR_INSTALL_LOCATION>bin
On MY computer, that meant:
;c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11\bin
WARNING: BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO OVERWRITE ALL THE
EXISTING ENTRIES IN YOUR PATH!
