From this, I need to be able to remove the full path name related to "oracle. Unfortunately, not only could the oracle path name be different than shown above, there could be multiple oracle path names and all need to be removed.

If you need to make it a persistent change use setx instead of set and open another console for changes to take effect. I putted an echo to the last line. Check the result and If it's OK for you, remove it. I think this is more elegant, and I commented the hell out of it so even someone new to the horrors of Batch can follow along.

But this was not possible due to using a another variable in the environment variable for Windows. Also, thanks to Jens A. Koch for the base command. For fixed change, it is necessary to use the SETX command or directly change the entries in the Registry.

Fortunately, PShell came to the rescue:. RegistryValueKind]::ExpandString ". Special thanks to vonpryz for the last command. See also: ss AKhudairy is correct: ss Also you need to add " s around!
