Using a different directory for the installed client application components
Per default, the downloaded client application components will be installed in the directory
%USERPROFILE%\netavisLibs
(e.g.
C:\Documents and
Settings\user\netavisLibs
). You can change this directory by setting the environment
variable
NETAVIS_DIRECTORY
. The directory must exist prior to starting the Observer client. If the
variable does not exist, the client components will be installed in the standard directory.
Here is how you can set an environment variable in Windows 7:
1.
Right click on the Computer icon in your Explorer or on your Desktop and choose

4.
In the
Environment Variables
window you will notice two tables
User variables
for the current
user and
System variables
for all users.
5.
To add a new
User variable
click on
New…
button. In the
New User Variable
dialog box enter
the variable name
NETAVIS_DIRECTORY
and the location of the directory and then click
OK
.
The default location would be
%USERPROFILE%\netavisLibs
.
6.
Click OK in the Environment Variables dialog window and close the other dialogs as well.
