How to set a env permanent from cmd?

I think you will need to update the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment\JAVA_HOME

Hello!

Sounds great!
I'm on it!

I'll be back!

Hello Arne!

Your solution did what it should!
So please give a svar so I can reward you!


To create the script I changed the JAVA_HOME in the registry and saved 2 different files, one for 1.4 and one for 1.6.

When I import them, the registry gets updated, and when I look under my computer/properties/advanced/env..

... But strangely when I do a "echo %JAVA_HOME%" it does not change even though I close and open new cmd:s.

If you got any extra ideas I'm most thnakfull!

Best regards

Btw One reson for this is that my IE seems stuck with applet-engine for 1.4 even though I told it to use 1.6
... so when I try to login to JBoss 5 and it's JBoss Web Console it will not start the applet. I guess it needs 1.6 but as I said it seems to only use 1.4.

Regarding why it is not working for new CMD's: can you update CurrentControlSet ?

Good morning!

Very interesting but what is the "CurrentControlSet"?

Btw do you know how IE determens the applet-viewer/engine to use?

It seems that it not use JAVA_HOME, and I can not find anything in PATH that indicates what to use.
(Now my JAVA_HOME is set to 1.6, but IE uses 1.4 in some way)

Hello!

I found out what "CurrentControlSet".is.
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/100010)

But I then thought that I would find my JAVA_HOME there also, but my JAVA_HOME seems only be available under:

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3734984382-2249190146-137403791-2401\Environment]
"JAVA_HOME"="C:\\Program\\Java\\jdk1.6.0_07"

Tricky!

Best regards

Aha!

Seems like I can change the settings for which jre (1.4, 1.6) for IE in the Java Control from the "system tray" (think it is called system tray).

Back to the cmd problem then.

Best regards
Fredrik

Hmm!

Seems that my above change for IE does not work.
IE still uses 1.4 for the controlpanel in some way, but I can change to 1.6. But applet written for 1.6 still does not work.

In my firefox it in some way uses 1.6 for the controlpanel and all applet works.

Would love to be able to change it for IE as well.

Best regards
Fredrik

Hmm.

Try look at the keys in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Java*\CLSID

Hello!

I never managed to get this right, my solution was to set it for each cmd.

But please give a svar arne, your answers increased my knowledge about the register so it was most welcome.

Bets regards
Fredrik

OK
