GSET - Graphical SET

This tool lets you add, delete, and modify environment variable of the console from which you launched GSET.

My colleague at previous company referenced this tool in his MDSN article, which gives you some idea of how this tool may be used.

Note. This tool is written in back in 2001. It was originally tested on Windows NT and 2000. It ssems to work fine on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 except the feature where you can specify PID (process ID) at GSET to attach to an arbitrary process isn't working sometimes. Also, GSET did not work on Vista and I will be surprised if it worked on Windows Server 2008.

Installation

Download .zip file and extract the content files to somewhere on your computer. (It comes with GSET.exe and Agent.dll)

How to use

In one word, this tool allows you to do what you would normally do by typing in "PATH=C:\MyNewBin;%PATH%, but using GUI.

Say, you are in a console, and you wanted to add a folder to PATH environment variable. Start GSET.exe, which will bring up a UI. Find PATH (or type 'p' in keyboard to get to variables that starts with letter 'p').

Press "Modify" button, which will enable editing of the value of PATH environment variable.

Make appropriate edit, and then press "Set" button. This will commit the changes to the console from which GSET started.
