Environment Variables

[dehat01]

How do I append Environment Variables to a workstation without overwriting the current values?

Use this

Dim strmess = "variables:" & vbcrlf
dim objshell
set objshell = createobject("wscript.shell&quot

dim objvariable
for each objvariable in objshell.environment
strmess = strmess & vbtab & objvariable & vbcrlf
next

wscript.echo strmess
wscript.echo "Done"

Hello dehat01,

To make suggestions of any usefulness, you need to provide more info, such as OS, which variable. OS is surprisingly important as I see the treatment of environment variables is still very unsettled. Very different behaviors for win 9x, Me, 2000 etc. Variable : is it a quite standard variable? or some custom variable?

Also, what do mean by append? Append likes append a new path to the path variable? or append a new variable which name is not already used?

regards - tsuji

If you are using nt,2000,xp you can use pathman.exe to add to a path or setx.exe to add an environmental variable. These are on the 2000 support tools on the 2000 cd. Use /? to find the syntax
