Hi.
I need an environment variable whose length is greater than 1023 chars. But Windows XP only allows me to include environment variables shorter than 1024 chars. I have tried increasing environment space by setting value of Comspec variable to c:\windows\system32 cmd.exe /e:2048 but it doesnt' work because this increases the total size of all environment variables and what I want is increasing the length of a single variable. I've spent several hours looking for a solution on the Internet but I found nothing. Please help me. I don't know what to do. Thanks in advance, Vicent Palasi. |
