Hello again,

I don't use windows, so it may be different, but it seems that you have
only jre installed instead of jdk. It seems that jre doesn't containt
tools.jar which is needed by ant. Try to install the whole jdk and set
your JAVA_HOME variable to point to the jdk directory, possibly something
like this:

JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\j2dk1.4"

But this is really a pure guess :-).

Good luck.

Hello

It seems that your system PATH does not point to the ant bin directory.

Best regards
