Set environment variable - SETX

Question

I need to set a system environment variable for Java. I'm currently using this method:

setx /M JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_17"

My question: Is there a better (PowerShell) way to do this?

I tried using:

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("JAVA_HOME", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_17")

But this does not produce the same result as setx .

Is there a better PowerShell way to set Java home?

Answer 1

您是否尝试设置范围？

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("JAVA_HOME", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_17", "Machine")
