    I need assistance setting up the ESTIMATE system variables running windows 10 and using Apache Tomcat 9.
    I have created C:\Users\GARYS\AppData\Local\ESTICON and set the enviromental variables path in windows for user GARYS and in system variables to that path, but still get incorrect "X" when checking enviromental variables when I run http://127.0.0.1:8080/ESTIMATE/Configure for particular enviromental variables exist and licence path.
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated
    Gary

    Hello,

    Please follow these steps in strict order:
    A. Create an empty writable directory (name doesn't matter), prefferably not on the C drive because windows 10 is bit finicky about it and might silently drop the write access to tomcat based on where have you placed your tomcat in the file system.
    B. Define environment variable ESTICON and set it's value as the full path to the directory you created in step A.
    C. Restart the tomcat server (may be needed on some machines), that should bring in the first tick mark and even the second one if tomcat can write to the directory pointed to by the environment variable ESTICON.

    Hope this helped.

    No luck either.

    1. Create Folder with access (double checked) Had to do it on C drive as I only have a C drive
    2. Create new Windows Environment variable : ESTICON with value C:\Personal\Development\Estimate
    3. Restart windows 10
    4. Start TomCat
    5. Run Estimate Configure http://localhost:8080/estimate/Configure
    6. No tick marks

    I fixed it :-) Upgraded from Tomcat 7 to Tomcat 9 and now it works !!!!!

      I guess your upgradation to Tomcat 9 is not what fixed the problem. Most probably you installed Tomcat 9 inside your C:\Program Files directory which allowed the program to access all directories on the C drive.

    I got same issue, I double checked, the system variable has been created and pointed to an empty directory in D drive. But the configure terocess can't detect them (both marks are "x"). I am running it on win 7, using xampp (Tomcat 7.0)
