I figured out I need the jdk and installed it but when I try ant -version.  I 
still
get the no tools.jar file because it is trying to go to C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1..... instead of C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.....

WinAnt v2 and above now allow you to specify the location of your JDK, and set 
your 
JAVA_HOME environment variable appropriately which fixes this problem.

Thanks for using WinAnt!

I have a similar problem.

Running ant, I get the same error:
Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in
c:Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\tools.jar
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist
Build failed

I figured of course that I had entered the wrong path when installing (JRE 
instead of JDK, but checking in the System control panel, my environment 
variables are as follows:

JAVA_HOME  C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21
PATH       C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21;C:\Program Files\WinAnt\bin

So I really can't figure out what is wrong.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ken

Is there a global environment variable (Windows might call it "system-wide"--I 
can't remember) that's over-riding that one, perhaps? That's all I can think of.
