Not sure if this has already been posted, but when Mysql
4.1.8 is installed, it gives an option to add its bin directory to the PATH.
I am new to this but I hope my explanation gets the point across. It
modifies such an example path: PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\WinNT;C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\Common\Tools;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\VC98\bin;C:\BC45\BIN to- PATH=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\WinNT;C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\Common\Tools;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\VC98\bin;C:\BC45\BIN It seems that %SystemRoot% does not get defined until a
certain point (later than needed) in the Windows boot process, and causes the
problem of the C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
directories not getting set in the PATH. For example, install Mysql 4.1.8
(windows build) and select the option to add to PATH, then reboot. Then
try an “ipconfig” and it will say unrecognized command, as well as
any other executables that are in the aforementioned directories. -Peter Oswald |
