Set Windows System Variables with Java

Question

is there a way to add a specific directory to the Windows systemvariable %PATH%? This doesn\'t seem to work:

String[] cmd = { \"cmd\", \"/c\", \"set\", \"PAT         


        

Answer 1

This is not possible with just running a batch file. See here for details.

Your solution doesn't work, because it only modifies the environmental variable in the process level and not in system level.
