Environmental Variables

[Guest]

I am attempting to install some software and I get back an error message that
the maximum size for environmental variables has been reached and the install
program can not add its'.

What is the work around for this?

Where are the Environmental variables stored? I know how to get to them via
the on-line screens, but it stores this information somewhere...where is that?

Each System environment variable is a Value Name at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment.
Users variables are at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment.

Each place you can replace C:\program files with %programfiles% gains you
two chars. Maybe others, look for duplicates.
