Environment Variable Settings
Chapter 24: View Reference
Configure the Target System View
By specifying environment variable settings, you indicate how you want to affect existing variables on
the target system or create new variables. Each environment variable setting is described below:
Table 24-31: Environment Variable Settings
Setting Description
Feature Select the feature with which you want to associate this environment variable.
The environment variable creation, modification, or removal takes place on the target
system when the feature that is associated with the environment variable is installed.
Note: To ensure that this environment variable is created, modified, or removed when
your application is installed, select Always Install. If you want the environment variable to
be associated with only a particular feature, select that feature instead.
Value Enter the path or value for this environment variable. You can use a predefined folder as
part of this value—such as [INSTALLDIR]bin.
To enter multiple paths, separate the paths with a semicolon (;).
Note: If you select Remove for the On Install setting, InstallShield clears any value
entered in the Value setting, and the Value setting becomes read-only.
On Install Indicate the action that you want to take place when the associated feature is installed to
the target system. Available options are:
• Create—The installation creates the specified environment variable on the target
system—if it does not already exist—and sets its value.
• Set—In conjunction with the Placement setting, this option sets the value of an
existing environment variable. If you select this option and the environment variable
does not already exist on the target system, the installation creates it and then sets
its value. If the environment variable exists on the target system, the installation sets
its value.
• Remove—The installation removes the specified environment variable from the
target system.
Note: If you select Remove for the On Install setting, any value entered in the Value
setting is cleared, and the Value setting becomes read-only.
