PRVF-3929 : Adding the Oracle binary location to the PATH environment variable will exceed the OS length limit of [ "1023" ] for the variable on the node "VAW175297"

Hello Experts,

I have a colleague that attempted that was trying to install Oracle 11g on windows machine and encountered the following error message:

Environment variable: "PATH" - This test checks whether the length of the environment variable "PATH" does not

exceed the recommended length.

Expected Value
: 1023

Actual Value
: 1104

List of errors:
PRVF-3929 : Adding the Oracle binary location to the PATH environment variable will exceed the OS length limit of [ "1023" ] for the variable on the node "XXXXXXX" -

Cause: The installer needs to update the PATH environment variable to include the value "%ORACLE_HOME%/bin;". However, doing so will cause PATH to exceed the maximum allowable length that this operating system allows. - Action: Ensure that the sum of the lengths of your current PATH environment variable and that of "%ORACLE_HOME%/bin;" does not exceed the operating system limit. Restart the installer after correcting the setting for environment variable.

Has anyone encountered this error? And, how can it be resolved?

Thanks in advance!

Could you please paste the output of %ORACLE_HOME% here?

Set variables to different long path and use these variables instead of values.
