Can anyone tell me how to set environment variables for Windows 8? I can't figure out how. I've tried following instructions for Windows 7, but they don't apply to Windows 8.

  • Nothing has changed in this regard in Windows 8. What did you try? What happened?

  • Also, no one has asked this question on SO, or anywhere for that matter, so I figured I'd ask here so others can find an answer quickly. I've Googled the answer, and can't find one. If you don't know, that's fine, but you don't have to vote to close the question. I'm sure there are plenty of people who could use this info in the future. Commented May 29, 2013 at 22:56
