Path environment variable limitation

• 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.

• Error message: PRVF-3929 - PATH environment variable.

  Hello
  
  I'm trying to install Oracle on my laptop and get the following error message resulting in installation hault.

  Installation of the ton tent of the Oracle database - win64_11gR2
  
  MY PC CONFIGURATION:
  -Windows 7
  -64-bit
  
  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.

• 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.

• "Call the executable" allows the environment variable "path"?

  Hello

  It seems that when you use the step type "call the executable" you need to enter the absolute path of the executable, or the absolute working directory, in the definition of "call settings" step.  I seem not to be able to put in a *.exe by himself in the path and have the command is found, even if I can't enter this same command on the command line (windows 7).  Is it possible to configure this step to use the windows ' path' environment variable to search for the executable?

  David J.

  You can do the following:

  (1) specify cmd.exe for the file path.

  (2) specify "/c yourexe.exe" for the argument expression

  This will launch a command window and tell it to run your application with the simple file name.

  The reason why you can't put just yourexe.exe in the path of file is that TestStand made its own resolution of file path that is different from what the window command. It uses its directories to search to resolve relative paths. If you do not have to specify an absolute path for the file path parameter, but it must be compared to a TestStand search directory or the current sequence file.

  Hope this helps,

  -Doug

  When you see something surrounded of % this means there is a system environment Variable
  together who will take the place of it. SystemRoot where Windows so for most, it will be
  C:\Windows however if Windows is on drive D: it would be usually be D:\Windows.

  Start - type in the search box-> explorer.exe SystemRoot

  Enter and see where it leads you.

  Another is %UserProfile%, which is the currently logged-on user

  Start - type in the search box-> explorer.exe %USERPROFILE%

  Enter and see where it leads you.

  With the help of people and other environment variables, commands can be written so that they will apply no.
  matter where Windows to installed or that the user connects (for the above examples).

  To view the current system Environment Variables:

  Start - type in the search-> CMD box find top - make a right click on - RUN AS ADMIN

  C:\Windows\System32 >

  Type SET and press on enter and you will see the present commands.

• How to get the active directory and environment variables

  Hello

  1 - is there a global variable to get the real (project, where is ORD and DSQ files) directory?

  2.-y there a way to get the directory of the user as the reading of the operating system environment variables?

  Thanks in advance.

  PD: I use Dasylab12

  Yes, use ropes of system

  For example, ${DATA_FOLDER}.

  For a list, the simplest method is to right click and select global chains. The lower half of the dialog box lists the system strings, including the date, time, name of the worksheet, with or without a path, the DEFAULT folders for the spreadsheet, data, other, black box, etc.

  

• Windows 7 I messed up my way in advanced systems settings > Environment Variables > Variables system. can't save point.

  Windows 7 - I messed up my way in advanced system settings > Environment Variables > System Variables. no known record point.  Can I restore the correct values without using Lenovo OneKey Recovery?

  You can start with a setting of the main path, but you have installed may well have added directories in the system path.

  It is at least that you start:

  Path=%SystemRoot%\System32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;

  To do this, you could add (if you use any Windows Live stuff)-

  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared live; C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Microsoft Shared live; C:\Program Files (x 86) \Windows Live\Shared;

  Something else will depend on your particular system and facilities.

• 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.
