  2. I can't set environment variable more than 1024 characters using setx command. why please explain me.

    Hi, I want to set a variable more than 1024 characters using the setx command. whenever I try this command, I have truncated error. But in windows, we can use 2047 characters. then why I can't use more than 1024 characters.

    I can't set environment variable more than 1024 characters using setx command. why please explain me.

    Why I can't use more than 1024 characters?

    -> Because setx.exe has an inbuilt limit of 1024 characters. It actually tells you so explicitly:

    WARNING: The data being saved is truncated to 1024 characters.

    What are you actually trying to do with such a long variable? There are probably better ways of doing things.
