JNI Question. C/C++ to Java (creating a JVM)

I am having a problem creating a JVM from C/C++. I am getting an error code of -1 when I call JNI_CreateJavaVM(...) API from C.

I am using jdk1.1.3 ->
I am setting:

JDK1_1InitArgs vm_args;
vm_args.version = JNI_VERSION_1_2;

I think the problem might have to do with my classpath.
vm_args.classpath = ???

I'm not sure what my class path should be. I tried many different things. I put my .class java file in the c:\ directory and set the classpath to c:\, but it didn't work.

Does anyone have any suggestions!

Thank you. jcast17
