Hello Everyone

I am trying to install Oracle 11g client on Windows 7

I am getting bellow error upon Installation Prerequisite checks

==========================Error Description==============
Environment variable: "PATH" - This test checks whether the length of the environment variable "PATH" does not exceed the recommended length.
Expected Value
: 1023
Actual Value
: 1069
List of errors:
-
PRVF-3929 : Adding the Oracle binary location to the PATH environment variable will exceed the OS length limit of [ "1023" ] for the variable on the node "CNF0123H5R" - Cause: The installer needs to update the PATH environment variable to include the value "%ORACLE_HOME%/bin;". However, doing so will cause PATH to exceed the maximum allowable length that this operating system allows. - Action: Ensure that the sum of the lengths of your current PATH environment variable and that of "%ORACLE_HOME%/bin;" does not exceed the operating system limit. Restart the installer after correcting the setting for environment variable.

=============

How to resolve this error or would I rather say Warning. I don't want to proceed with installation ignoring it.

What are the risks to ignore it.

Thank you

Saph
