Root Environmental Variable's

When setting environmental variable's should it be C:\APK Tool or ;C:\APK Tool ? APK Tool is the folder I created on the hard drive & had the apk tool install there. Or does it need to be C:\APK Tool\tools ? Where the actual tools are ?

Well, I'm no expert at this, but since you didn't get any replies...

The semi-colon is not part of the path name, it just separates the other paths in your environment variable statement... You know like when you have multiple email addresses in the TO: field of an email?

It won't hurt to add both of those paths, if you have doubts.

Or just forget editing the environment variable statement and try this shortcut (Win 7):

Just (SHIFT) Right-click on your tools folder and OPEN COMMAND WINDOW HERE.

Hope that works/helps you.

If I remember correctly, I don't think you can have spaces in there. I added both when I set mine up, and Thangfish is correct about the semi-colon.

I wondered about the spaces too. Not sure on that either, but i *think* it's allowed.
