#29137 - 2002-09-18 12:14 AM Amending Environment variable
glwday glwday Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-08-01 Posts: 11	Hello I am a scripting newbie trying to correct a problem created by a predecessor. We use kix to deliver packaged applications to user across our site. in one install he use SETM "path=c:\program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared" But this overwrote the Path variable rather than adding it to the existing entries I thought I could read the existing value and add the new to it, but I get the error Path not found (76) using the following code code: $path = ReadValue ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment","Path") $autocad = $path+"c:\program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared" SetM "path=" + $autocad I would be very grateful for assistance gary

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Gary, I think you miss the seperating semicolon in your path string : $autocad = $path+";c:\program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared" btw. if OS is 9x you'll have to shell it out to winset hth Jochen [edit] huh ! should hit F5 from time to time [ 17.

This will eliminate the use of WINSET.EXE under Windows 9x. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Dunc Dunc Getting the hang of it Registered: 2002-05-25 Posts: 54 Loc: Guildford England	Gary, Just tried your script on a Windows NT machine with SP 6a loaded and IE6 running kix32 3.49. Added the semicolon all ok. When do you get the error. Does kix give you the error or the application when looking for the path? Duncan

glwday glwday Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-08-01 Posts: 11	Hi Dunc I am using KiXscripts and get the error when I try the execute or debug options. However I amended one of our batch files that usually work to read kix32.exe pathupdate.kix $RF=%1 and that worked! from which I presume that even though kix32.exe was in c:winnt\system32 KiXscripts couldn,t find it. Many thanks for your help Gary
