For Windows platforms, the Environment Variable Update bean modifies the target system as described in the following table:
Windows | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Level | 9x | NT, 2000, & XP |
Me | Special User Privileges Required |
Logout Required |
Reboot Required |
"User" | autoexec.bat | Registry Entries | Registry Entries & autoexec.bat |
None | No | Yes - On 9x and Me Only |
"System" | Yes - Administrator |
On Windows NT, 2000, and XP, any process(es) that was already running at the time the environment variable was modified will not reflect the change in the environment. Only new processes created after the installation has run will reflect those changes.
