Problem Title:
Foundation 2.1i: Path variable must be manually updated after installation


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: Some computers with pre-installed
versions of NT (i.e. Dell, Compaq, etc) may have to update
the PATH variable manually. If the system property for
automatic user variable expansion has been set to NONE,
the system will not automatically expand the %XILINX%
variable in the path.


Solution 1:

Modify the path variable to resolve this issue.
1- Right click on My Computer and select Properties.
2- In the System Properties dialog select the Environment Tab.
3- Select the PATH variable which includes %XILINX%. Change
the %XILINX% to the value which it represents(i.e. C:\FNDTN).
