Batch script to check the Java home and compare java version

Question

Hi I need a batch script to check whether java home is available in the system and script to compare the java version

My requirements are

1.) Script needs to check whether java home is set in the system.I think "echo %JAVA_HOME%" will do it.But if Java Home is not available it needs to display a message showing "Java home is not available.Please set the java home in Computer>Properties>Variables path".

2.) It needs to check the java version in the system and if the java vesion is higher than 1.6_445 it needs to diplay in a message that "Java version is higher MR tool will not able to install.(I think for this one it needs to create an array and store the Java version values and it needs to compare the values.But I dont know how to write the code for it)Since the java version contains underscore the comparison will be a tough task I think.

Currently I'm using the below script but it is not at all satisfying my requirements.Can any one please help me to make a script to satisfying above requirements.Thanks in advance

@user3400717 do you have SETX as a command on your system? (just type setx in the command prompt)

@user3400717 how does your PATH variable looks like?

Chanthu Over a year ago

"c:\Program Files\java\jre7" (path which java installed). @ npocmaka

@user3400717 - Really sorry here /:-| . My first script harmed your path variable - it does not allow quotes in it.Could you repair it through the environment variables and set it to `C:\Windows\system32\;C:\Windows` (if your windows installation is under C:)
