Windows 7 environment variable not working in path

Question

I am trying to set up some path using environment variable. I added an environment variable \"MAVEN_HOME\" with the value \"C:\\maven\". Then in the path I added \"%MAVEN_HO

Answer 1

To address this problem, I have used setx command which try to set user level variables.

I used below...

setx JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_92"

setx PATH %JAVA_HOME%\bin

NOTE: Windows try to append provided variable value to existing variable value. So no need to give extra %PATH%... something like %JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
