If the variable is in effect a "fixed" path, how about setting the variable before the client is installed ?

In the moment it looks like this. todo.pl "%Z%\install\packages\ingresclientservicepack\setup.exe /silent" todo.pl ".reboot" todo.pl "%Z%\install\packages\ingresclient\setup.exe /silent" (The switches are a little bit more complicated in reality, so the above is somehow simplified...) The reboot is necessary because the Ingres-Client software defines a new environment variable II_SYSTEM (pointing to the Ingres installation path) and the Ingres-Client-Servicepack setup *must see* that variable in order to run through. If I leave out the reboot, the service pack installation does not work. So the question is: how can I achieve in "multiple step" scenarios that the second step will see environment variables set by the first step *without* having to reboot?
