In this blog post<\/a> we explained how to use Windows’ environment variables in Visual Installer<\/a>; for example as a part of a file path. You can also create or change values for environment variables in the system during an installation by using a script command in Visual Installer’s scripting language<\/a>. The name of the command is SETENV<\/strong> and you can use this command to set an environment variable to a specific value. If the environment variable does not exists, it will be created. If it already exists, its value will be updated.<\/p>\n

Examples of usage<\/strong>
\nThe example below shows how to use the SETENV<\/strong> command to set an environment variable with the variable name MyVariable<\/strong> to the value MyValue<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\/\/ Example 1: Set MyVariable = MyValue<\/span>
\nSETENV<\/span> MyVariable, MyValue<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can also use Visual Installer’s variables (for example %DESTDIR<\/strong>) when you set values. The example below shows how to set an environment variable with the variable name MyAppsFolder<\/strong> to the path %DESTDIR\\MyApps<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\/\/ Example 2: Set MyAppsFolder = %DESTDIR\\MyApps<\/span>
\nSETENV<\/span> MyAppsFolder, %DESTDIR<\/span>\\MyApps<\/strong><\/p>\n

The picture below shows same examples in Visual Installer’s scripting editor:<\/p>\n
