Set windows environment variables via script command line

 

When using windows , one the feature which i miss is use of scripts to do lots of things we can do in Linux

To set the deterministic development environment rapidly i use the Rapid Environment Editor

You can use the bat script to manage all environment variables.

Here is example

set_env.bat
