How do I set a DOS environment variable under Delphi 2.0.<br />
I am currently using:- <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; SetEnvironmentVariable('DF<wbr />PATH', NewVarDirectory);<br />
<br />
When I do I get an error Stating: &quot;Incompatible Types 'String' and 'PCHAR'&quot;<br />
The variable NewVarDirectory simply holds the new directory name.<br />
<br />
When I use<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; SetEnvironmentVariable('DF<wbr />PATH', 'F:\PRG\PROGRAMS');<br />
there is no error generated.<br />
