How the PATH environment variable longer?

Hello

I use Windows Vista Business.  Lately, I just installed the beta of Intel Parallel Studio and found that my path variable ran out of space.  Internet research concluded that there cannot be more than 1024?
It is too little for me to welcome all directories program that I installed, and thus some programs no longer work correctly.
I wonder if there-
(a) is a way I can expand the size of the Path system variable?
(b) add another variable which can take some Path variable values so that I do not violate the limitation of 1024.
Thanks in advance!

Hello, Gutsingh

The PATH environment variable has a fixed limit of 1023 characters can be used. It doesn't seem to be a way to extend this. Other environment variables have a higher limit, which can be useful.

Let us know if that helps.

  • Create the directory objects with the path environment variable

    I need to create a directory object and wonder if it's valid to use an environment variable in the nom_chemin?  Example:

    CREATE or REPLACE DIRECTORY XMLDIR AS ' $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/xml ";

    I read the following in the Oracle 11.2 documentation, but it is is not clear to me if an environment variable is allowed or not.  My reason for wanting to use a variable of environment as opposed to hard coding is for when I update, I have no back reference to the old House of Oracle.

    nom_chemin

    Specify the name of the full path of the directory on the server where the operating system files are located. Single quotes are required, so that the path name is case-sensitive.

    > I see that many developers have created objects to directory with the environment variables in the path.

    Please post reproducible test

    You know & realize that the Oracle database is independent of the operating system (OS)?

    Environment variable is OS specific.

    Installation of the ton tent of the Oracle database - win64_11gR2

    MY PC CONFIGURATION:

    Can you please help me get this resolved please.

    The following information appears to be linked: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473

    According to the link above, the maximum length of the PATH environment variable is 2048/8192 characters. Apparently the length has been increased to 2048 from Windows XP SP2. Your current path is about 1200 characters that is less than the limit of the OS.

    The Oracle installer is incorrect about the PRVF-3929 error message? Or if the length of the path environment variable is not the real problem? Maybe you can try temporarily shorten the path and add the full pathname after the installation of Oracle.

    You should be able to modify the path as follows:
    From the desktop, do a right click my computer, and then click Properties.
    In the System Properties window, click the Advanced tab.
    In the Advanced section, click the Environment Variables button.

    Using Windows 7 Professional? If the error message occurs even with a short path, then maybe there something else trigger this error, as the antivirus or other security software.

  • After that the changing environment variables get various issues which cannot find %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe errors

    After you sort a few UAC problems on the computer of a friend (see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/a-domain-user-in-the-local-administrators-group/745fc28d-7573-4414-aa4e-657054fc62dd) we hit another problem.

    After modification of the environment variables, it seems that windows loses some environment variables until a disconnection/connection is made. If you open a back command prompt and type the value, there are far fewer variables and things like %windir%\System32 disappeared. If you try to open the variable dialog environment again, you get a 'cannot find windir%\system32\rundll32.exe %. The same thing happens if you restart in safe mode. After a closed session/login, added environment variable are there, so they are saved, it just seems like it won't let windows none of them until a new logon.

    One oddity is that the variable env pathext has different things in after things go wrong. He started as a

    PATHEXT = .COM; EXE;. BEATS;. CMD;. VBS;. VBE;. JS;. JSE;. WSF;. WSH;. MSC. ; PY

    and after adding a new use env variable and opening a new prompt back, together said

    PATHEXT = .COM; EXE;. BEATS;. CMD;. VBS;. JS;. WS;. MSC

    Is this a sign of a register messed up, that could have caused the original problem, or something else? Any ideas on how to diagnose this problem? Any help much appreciated. I have left this in the Security section, as it seems that it could be linked to the original problem, but am happy to move.

    Any help much appreciated.

    I don't know what caused your problem, but your original path certainly seemed excessively long. There is a lot of overlap in it you need to remove - see below. In addition, having records of remote machines at the beginning of your path will cause the machine to slow down a lot. You should remove them.

    Hi mtgbiker,

    (a) what exactly you are trying to do?

    (b) is connected to the domain of the computer?

    Please provide more details about your question.  If you feel that your system is unstable, you can use SFC (System File Checker) scan utility, which allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version.

    Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.

    You can still run a SFC scan on the windows vista computer. To run a scan suite SFC as follows:

    (a) click Start and in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

    (b) at the command prompt type sfc/scannow , and then press ENTER.

    Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Backup of the System Environment Variables

    How can I save variables on a windows system? The HYPERION_HOME and EPM_ORACLE_HOME system variables the same?

    If it's windows, then I find the best way is to either back up the registry or the part of registry, environment variables are stored in the registry to: -.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment

    So, if you go to start > run > regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment > right, click Export, save it out in a registry file.

    The registry can also be exported from the command line, for example to go to a command prompt and type
    REG EXPORT /?

  • How the names of variables and units used in the binary output file

    My colleague will give me LabView generated from the binary files (*.dat). There are more than 60 variables (columns) in the binary output file. I need to know the names of variables and units, which I think he has already configured in LabView. Is there a way for him to produce a file that contains the name of the variable and unity, so that I'll know what contains the binary file? It can create an equivalent ASCII file with a header indicating the name of the variable, but it does not list the units of each variable.

    As you can tell I'm not a user of LabView, so I apologize if this question makes no sense.

    Hi KE,.

    an ASCII (probably the csv format) file is just text - and contains all data (intentially) written to. There is no special function to include units or whatever!

    Your colleague must save the information it records the names and values in the same way...

    (When writing to text files, it could use WriteTextFile, FormatIntoFile, WriteToSpreadsheetFile, WriteBinaryFile even could serve...)
