java - Error installing Ant: ANT_HOME is set incorrectly

Question

I read all the possible solutions but the none worked. I downloaded the ant and put it in C:ant (so I have C:antin)

On Windows 7 under System variables I have variable called ANT_HOME with value

C:ant

and variable called PATH with value

%ANT_HOME%in

And when I try in cmd (Command Prompt)

ant -version

I get

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

Also, if I try

echo %ANT_HOME%

I get

C:ant

I tried PATH = %PATH%;%ANT_HOME%in but the same situation. Anyone?

EDIT:

Variables are (name - value):

ANT_HOME - C:ant

Answer 1

It sounds like you have it setup right. What happens if you try something like this, which worked for me:

C:>set ANT_HOME=C:apache-ant-1.8.1

C:>set JAVA_HOME=C:jdk1.6.0_24

C:>set PATH=%ANT_HOME%in;%JAVA_HOME%in

C:>ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.8.1 compiled on April 30 2010

This also worked for me by setting up environment variables, like so:
