Hi,
This is fundamental question of running a executable on Windows.
you need to set the PATH variable in your system
So lets say if you have java installed in a directory C:\Java then your path should contain the folder which has javac.exe

so at command line run this command first

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Java\bin

Then run your javac

Hope this helps
