You know what, I think your right. It all makes sense now, thinking of other problems I’ve had on this machine, this is very likely to be the problem.
I found this “solution” on stackoverflow basically what it does is it will create a bunch of small environment variables for each value in the %Path% variable. Then it clears the %Path% and adds references to the shortened environment variables. This seems like it would work (I haven’t done it yet, its a similar idea to my %Path2%), but it also seems pretty sketchy. Surely there is a better way to deal with this problem.
There’s gotta be. I can’t imagine the average Joe doing this when they run into this problem.
Is there to your knowledge a better way of dealing with %Path% length problems?
