I want my classpath to be set via a batch file. I’m working on Windows XP.
I have two questions:
My first question:
I made a batch file in which
I typed
"set classpath = C:\WINDOWS\system32\;.;C:\jdk1.5.0\lib\tools.jar;C:\poi-3.6\poi-3.6-20091214.jar;C:\poi-3.6\poi-contrib-3.6-20091214.jar;C:\poi-3.6\poi-ooxml-3.6-20091214.jar;C:\poi-3.6\poi-ooxml-schemas-3.6-20091214.jar;C:\poi-3.6\poi-scratchpad-3.6-20091214.jar;E:\jdbc\postgresql-8.2-505.jdbc3.jar;C:\xmlbeans-2.5.0\lib\jsr173_1.0_api.jar;C:\xmlbeans-2.5.0\lib\resolver.jar;C:\xmlbeans-2.5.0\lib\xbean.jar;C:\xmlbeans-2.5.0\lib\xbean_xpath.jar;C:\xmlbeans-2.5.0\lib\xmlbeans-qname.jar;C:\xmlbeans-2.5.0\lib\xmlpublic.jar;C:\dom4j-1.6.1\dom4j-1.6.1.jar;
exit"
When I tried to run this file it ran but when I went into control panel >system>advanced>environment variables and then selected classpath, it didn’t show me the classpath I did set. What is the correct way to set the classpath via batch file?
My second question:
Is there any way by which we can install database via batch file say for eg: postgresql8.2?
Thank you.
Setting the classpath from the command line affects only that batch process, it has no effect on the classpath that will be used for new processes. I don’t know how to do what you’re trying to do from the command line, but it likely involves mucking about in the registry.
