Where should I place these tools? What I mean is ... what should the directory structure be? Does it matter?

said by MstrBlstr :

Doesn't really matter. I would just do something simple.

Mine is D:\UnxUtils. (My D: drive is what I use for my programs and scripts, in case I have to format the C: drive.)

The main thing is, you will have to edit your Windows environment PATH variable to include the wbin folder in the UnxUtils dir.

This one. UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin

Do you know how to do that?

said by Gargoyle :

No, I don't know how to edit the PATH variable. Point me in a direction.

I looked for help in the Windows Help and Support area, but couldn't find anything there.

said by sortofageek :

I'll point. See if this helps.

Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab, Environment Variables button > System variables > highlight CLASSPATH > click the Edit button

Add a semicolon at the end of the path and then the path to your batch file?

I think this is what he is after, anyway.

said by sortofageek :

Naturally, you OK your way out and probably need to reboot to put the new info in memory at startup.

said by MstrBlstr :

Close, but he needs to add the path to the wbin folder in the UnxUtils dir. Not the path to the .bat file.

Also, it is the PATH or Path variable. I am not sure about the CLASSPATH. I always use the Path one.

The path variable addition is needed so Windows knows where to find the unixutil exe's to run them when called from the .bat file.

I don't have Vista, but I will see if I can come up with an XP Pro tutorial. Should just be minor differences.

Edit: Clarified the PATH variable statement a bit.

said by Gargoyle :

I looked around some more and can't figure this out.

So a tutorial for the "Windows impaired" (that would be me) is needed.

said by MstrBlstr :

I am not quite sure what is up with YouTube tonight, but it doesn't seem to want to give access to the tutorials that I uploaded hours ago. So, I will try it this way.

This is the one for editing your Windows Path variable.

Naturally, your path may actually be a bit diff. than mine. But it should give you the general idea.

For XP, so if Vista is much diff. just let me know.

Should be able to see it, as long as you have the flash player installed.

Adding A Windows Path Variable In XP

said by Gargoyle :

"Screencast.com is currently unavailable." .... but I figured out how to edit the PATH from usa2k's screenshot.

I added the following to the end of the current PATH:

;C:\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin

==> Is that what I was supposed to do?
