That's not a JDK, just the JRE: it has no developer tools.

I set my system path to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\lib;
to see if this would help but it didn't.
So you have a JDK installed. But the lib/ directory is not the one to
add to your path. Use the bin/ directory if you want to do that.

Do I need to download a different version of the jdk that will
install in the Program Files dir for win64bit for example?
You need a JDK that works for your platform.

Or, is there a place to change where the system looks for tools.jar.
I am using Windows ver 6.1.7600
At the command prompt, enter:

   set java

Is JAVA_HOME set? If not, set it in your desktop using sysdm.cpl (enter
that in the little window that opens on hitting Windows-R), and be sure
to set it to:

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_21

Then, try again.cd

Thanks, I got rid of the Java part, but now it seems like ant can't find my build.xml file.
error: Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Build failed

Also, being new to this list. Should I respond as I did here, directly back to you, or is there
a different way. I noticed that my OP is the only one on the archive.

Thanks.
