Changing the Installation and Environment Variables

Changing the Installation at a Later Stage

The Programs and Features function can be used in the system control for changing entries made upon installation at a later stage - as is often the case in Windows.

Here you can amend an existing installation in the following ways:

• Change it
• Repair it
• Remove it

Changing the Environment Variables

Use the Innovator set-up program (inoenv.exe) under Windows to change the values in the Innovator environment. It can be found in the Innovator program group's Administration folder.

To change the Innovator environment, call  Setup>Umgebung ändern in the setup program. The current environment variables are shown in the dialog.

The environment is managed separately for the system and user. User settings have priority over system settings.

You can use the two buttons in the top-right to add or delete environment variables.

You can use the button to copy the selected environment variable's value to the user or system variables.

Windows environment variables in the form %EnvironmentVariable% can also be used for directory specifications, e.g. %APPDATA% or %HOMEPATH%.

The modified environment variables are saved in the Windows registry with Anwenden.

Overview of Environment Variables

License server computer	INOHOST	Computer on which the license server is to run and details of the communication channels in the format <License server host name>.<port number>
Language setting	INOLANG	Details of the language to be used for Innovator operation The installation package language is used as default.

Directory for Tclscripts	INO_TCL_LIBRARY	Storage location for scripts that use the Innovator Tcl API (Innovator classiX only)
Temporary Directory	INOTMP	Optional: In Windows, Innovator stores temporary files to the directory specified in the TEMP environment variable by default. If this variable is not set, if this causes problems or if you want Innovator to use another directory for storing temporary files, set the INOTMP variable.
Directory for the Innovator Help	HELP	Optional: Storage location for help files stored locally if Internet access is not possible.
User-specific settings	INOHOME	Optional: The parameters in the INODIR directory are intended as central defaults. The individual user can override these specifications using their special settings. These are stored in the INOHOME directory. If this variable is not explicitly set, then a subdirectory in the HOME directory specified by the operating system is automatically used.
Server response interval	INOSRV_INFORM_TIME	Optional: If the connection between the client and the servers in distributed environments is provided by network elements that close the connection between client and server if it has been inactive for a certain period of time, then an interval can be set here, after which time the client will send a dummy telegram to the server. The value is the time in seconds. The usual intervals are 300 to 1200 seconds.
