    The original question is: "Setting Windows PowerShell environment variables", not "Setting Windows PowerShell environment variables using PowerShell". So this reply is both correct, and informative, as folks might be unaware that a change to the registry file will be visible in their later PowerShell session.

  3. If you are using the -File parameter to pass your script to powershell.exe, no other PowerShell code can be used to set an environment variable for the script to access, so instead you can set your environment variables in the CMD environment before calling powershell.exe: > set foo=bar && powershell.exe -File .\script.ps1

  4. The command is symmetrical to one of the ways being used for setting environment variables with Powershell. (EX: Set-Item -Path env:SomeVariable -Value "Some Value") If you get in the habit of doing it this way, you'll remember how to list all Environment variables: simply omit the entry portion.

If you need to map it using an environment variable (e.g. secrets) then this is the correct syntax:

  8. This only creates a process-level environment variable, which is only visible to, and lasts only as long as, your current PowerShell session. You need to set a more permanent environment variables (user-level or machine-level) by using the .NET Framework and the SetEnvironmentVariable method:

  9. Adding JAVA_HOME to system variable Path via Powershell

    stackoverflow.com/questions/50595251

    Thanks for the answer, but this will just add the path directly to the TEST environment variable. I actually want to add a dynamic path from powershell by adding %JAVA_HOME% (like how we can do it from the environment variable window) so if one day the path for JAVA_HOME change, it will be reflected in others that uses %JAVA_HOME% (Like Path ...

  10. The third parameter can be "Process", this makes new vars visible in Get-ChildItem env: or "Machine" - this required administrative rights to set the variable. To retrieve a variable set like this, use [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("TestVariable", "User") (or matching scope if you choose another).

  11. The following was mostly contributed by Ansgar Wiechers, with a supplement by Mathias R. Jessen:. On Windows [*], if you want to define an environment variable persistently, you need to use the static SetEnvironmentVariable() method of the [System.Environment] class:
