So we now start Dataease from .bat file – which opens a Command Prompt window – how can we get this to close automatically?

Even though Autoexec.bat etc. is obsolete in Windows7/8 which is where we used to set these things, you are still able to configure environment variables in Windows.

1. Open the Start Menu and right click on Computer. Select Properties.

2. Select Advanced system settings.
3. In the Advanced tab, select Environment Variables.
4. Select New.
5. You will now be able to enter the environmental variable. Most environmental variables are given to you in the form "Variable_name=Variable_value". So if you were given the environmental variable "UGS_LICENSE_SERVER=28000@license-1.cae.wisc.edu', you would enter "UGS_LICENSE_SERVER" in the Variable name field and "28000@license-1.cae.wisc.edu" in the Variable value field as shown below.



6. Select OK. You should now see the new Environmental Variable that you created.
