RE: [ROOT] InstallShield win9x/NT/2000 ROOTSYS/path code

Hi Valery,

This doesn't help. Win95/98 doesn't recognize long names in *.bat files.
Before I wrote my message I tried

PATH = C:\Progra~1\ROOT; %PATH%
set ROOTSYS =  C:\Program Files\ROOT

in the autoexec.bat with no success. I did not try root.bat solution but I
am sceptical about it because of the same reason.

Regards,
Anton

======================

I think the compromise solution for Win9x would be

PATH = C:\Progra~1\ROOT; %PATH%
set ROOTSYS =  C:\Program Files\ROOT

This is what InstallShield can provide.

 Another compromise solution is to use the root.bat file to star root rather
roo
t.exe
That root.bat may look as follows:

root.bat:

set rootsys=c:\Program file\root
path=c:\progra~1\root;%path%
command /k root_exe.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %6 %7 %8 %9
