ANT_HOME is set incorrectly or ant could not be located. Please set ANT_HOME.

[Jack Chan]

Dear All
I'm trying to install Ant into my windows XP workstation, firstly I had
extract the ANT file into my c:\ant folder, then from the environment
setting, I had create "ANT_Home" with value point to c:\ant, also I had
installed Java properly in my workstation with right value on system
environment.
Now when I type "ant" from the console, it just keep saying

"ANT_HOME is set incorrectly or ant could not be located. Please set
ANT_HOME."

I had double checked that the environment variable had set correctly, but it
just don't work!! Can anyone please give me a hand on this, as I got to get
ANT up and running for my business project.

Thanks

Jack

Try defining the environment variable "ANT_HOME", not "ANT_Home".

Dear Stephen

Thanks for your reply, I had change th name to "ANT_HOME", but it is still
the same, it just shows

" ANT_HOME is set incorrectly or ant could not be located. Please set
ANT_HOME."

When typing ant from console.
I'm sure that when I type "ant" from the console, the system had go in the
c:\ant\bin and call the executable file "ant", otherwise it will say that
the command is not recognize by the system. But just don't know why it keep
saying that the "ANT_HOME" is set incorrectly!!!

Thanks

Jack

$ echo %ANT_HOME%

If the above returns the value of ANT_HOME then we can assume that your
ANT_HOME definition is good - but if it returned %ANT_HOME% then we know
that your definition isn't good.
