How to use setx command in a windows batch file

Question

I am trying to create a windows batch file to automatically set the environment variable to use python 2.4 or python 3.3.

Both python 2.4 and 3.3 are installed on my sys

Answer 1

The SETX command is very reliant on the syntax of the command. The following example shows the basic syntax to use to set the path environment variable:

SETX PATH "%PATH%;Path to new thing added" /M

This will also add the new path to the system registry, but still won't add it for the current session. Re-launch the terminal for it to take affect.
