Okay, I'm confused. My SQL Server JAR is here:
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 8008-2D93
Directory of c:\temp
03/07/2014 09:38 AM <DIR> .
03/07/2014 09:38 AM <DIR> ..
03/05/2014 10:34 PM 222,417 output.exd
02/17/2012 02:45 PM 563,117 sqljdbc.jar
02/17/2012 02:45 PM 584,207 sqljdbc4.jar
3 File(s) 1,369,741 bytes
2 Dir(s) 21,865,553,920 bytes free
My Classpath is set:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>echo %CLASSPATH%
.;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\lib\ext\QTJava.zip;c:\temp\sqljdbc4.jar
Its a JDBC 4.0 driver, so I shouldn't need to do this, but I've tried setting the class name.
Properties connectionProps = new Properties();
connectionProps.put("user", this.jdbcUser);
connectionProps.put("password", this.jdbcPass);
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(this.jdbcUrl, connectionProps);
Still I execute my program and I'm getting the error:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
C:\WINDOWS\system32>java -jar "C:\Users\MYUSER\Documents\NetBeansProjects\myappSource\dist\myappSource.jar" -u MYUSER -p MYPASS -j "jdbc:sqlserver://127.0.0.1\\msqlserver:1433;database=MYDB"

In case it matters, I'm running Windows 8.1. I've tried the command prompt both as an admin and as not.
Java info:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>java -version
java version "1.7.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)
Any ideas?
SQL Server is SQL Server Express 2012.
If you pass -jar to java.exe then the classpath is taken from the specified Jar file's manifest; all external classpath settings (e.g. %CLASSPATH%) are ignored.
Do one of:
Use java -cp ...\myapp.jar MainClassName
Put sqljdbc.jar into the Class-Path field in myapp.jar's manifest.
Discover and load sqljdbc.jar programmatically.
