Thanks for the replies but I'm afraid it doesn't help a great deal. The problem is that we have quite a lot of Oracle products (BI Tools, Warehouse Builder, Designer, Jdeveloper etc) and each of these products add their own entries to the PATH variable. Each product is packaged for silent installation via our Altiris software distribution system so it's not like I can manually change the path for each machine that receives the product (that would be over 200 machines!).

I don't MIND the path being longer but I don't understand why there's this limitation of 1023 characters.

XP SP2 increases the length of the PATH variable to 2048 chars, that's all. Received on Wed Apr 05 2006 - 02:28:06 CDT
