Installing Workspace on Windows - Setting Environment Variables

On Workspace 1.7 and newer, Windows users may try running Workspace installer first without setting the environment variables. If the installer is unable to automatically detect the correct settings and fails with an error message, return to this step and set the following environment variables set manually.

WORKSPACE_HOME
Gives the Workspace installation directory.
For example C:\worspace

CLASSPATH
The Java class path. CLASSPATH must include at least the JDBC driver.
For example C:\Program Files\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar


The variables are set using a provided Windows tool

The tool is found in
Start -> Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables
(or Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables in the classic Control Panel view)
Under the User Variables for Administrator, click New and give name and value for each variable:

Now you have the necessary platform softwares installed and required environment variables set and you can run the Workspace installer.
