Environment Variables View

Environment variables are variables that can be accessed by multiple programs on the target system. In the Environment Variables view, you can create new environment variables, modify the values of existing variables, and remove variables. The environment variable creation, removal, or modification takes place when your application is installed—depending on the environment variable's properties.

Specify an Environment Variable

To specify an environment variable, right-click Environment Variables and select Add Environment Variable or press Insert. Type the name of the environment variable that you want to modify or remove, or the name of an environment variable that you want to create. Next, set the environment variable's properties in the grid that appears in the pane to the right.

Rename or Delete an Environment Variable

To rename an environment variable, right-click the variable and select Rename from the context menu, or press F2. Type the new name and press Enter or click elsewhere in the IDE.

To delete an environment variable, right-click the variable and select Delete from the context menu, or press Delete.
