## Environment.SetItem

### Introduced

v4.0

### Description

Sets the specified system environment variable. If the specified environment variable doesn't exist, one is created.
Note: This method should be used by Python scripters who need to set an environment variable through scripting. Since the Environment.Item property is not settable for Python users, this method is a workaround. For more information (and instructions for setting up Python COM support for XSIUtils), see Environment.Item.

### C# Syntax

    Environment.SetItem( String in_bstrName, String newVal );

### Scripting Syntax

    Environment.SetItem( Name, Value );

### Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
Name | String | The name of the system environment variable.
Value | String | New value for system environment variable,
