Setting System Environment Variables

By default, the Progress installation program tailors all the necessary Progress and Java environment variables to the directories where they are installed. For example, the installation automatically sets the %DLC% environment variable to your Progress installation path.

NOTE: The %DLC% environment variable is not set at the system level. After installing Progress, however, you can set environment variables to suit your own preferences. You can use Proenv to set the %DLC% environment variable to the directory where Progress is installed.

CAUTION: Although editing environment variables is an option, this procedure is not recommended if more than one version of a Progress product exists on the same system.

For more information on environment variables, see the chapter on maintaining user environments in the Progress Client Deployment Guide , or see your specific product documentation.

NOTE: Before you continue, consult the Progress Release Notes . These notes contain the latest information about the current release that the Progress documentation set might not include. Progress Software Corporation ships release notes in Microsoft Write (readme.wri) format. Click the Release Notes icon in your Progress program group, or access Readme.pro with any text editor.
