Hallo,
The ASA 9.02 Setup (WinXP SP3) sets some environment
variables (e.g. path), but this variables doesn't work until
a logoff/logon. I think the ASA setup writes the variables
only into the registry and did not use a way similar to the
tool setx.exe.
This is a problem for me, because the ASA setup is a part of
a extensive setup where I need this variables.
Any ideas how I can bring the environment variables to live
directly after the setup?

Thomas,

Environment variables are available to any new calling environment that
is launched after they're set in the registry. Existing
environments/launched executables do not pick up the changes.

e.g.

1. Start -> Run -> cmd
2. "echo %MYVAR%"
3. Right-click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Environment
Variables, Add... Var: MYVAR, Value: Hello
4. Start -> Run ->cmd
5. "echo %MYVAR%" in both Command Prompts - one picks up the new value,
one does not.

Regards,

Hallo Jeff,

you're right, but the ASA9 setup did not do this.
The variables only become effectiv when I follow step 3 (...
Right-click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced,
Environment Variables) - after a setup the ASA variables
here are visible, but only when I press now OK they will
became effective for the system (e.g. echo or set command).
Without this dialog they will not be effective until a
logon/logoff.

Regards
