Problem Title:
Design Manager reports: xmake is inaccessable


Problem Description:
When running translate from design manager a message pops up saying:

xmake is inaccessable.

Xmake may work from a dos shell


Solution 1:

Make sure that the xact directory is pointed to by both the path and the xact environment variable. Make sure this information is in the autoexec.bat file.

If using a network program called syscom to add mapped network locations to path statment, xmake or other xilinx tools will run from a dos shell without
problem, but when they were called from Design manager they will not be found.
Typing "set" from a dos shell will show the correct path and xact environment variables. Adding the xact directory to the path in the autoexec.bat solves the problem.
