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.

AFAIK this is a hard-coded limit. What are you trying
to do? There may be a way around this limitation.
