- Search for the word “environment” by typing it into the prompt and left-click on the “Edit environment variables for your account”option.
- This option will not require Administrator permissions. If you are prompted, please go back and choose the correct option.
- This will bring up the Environment Variables window. Left-Click on the New button to create a new environment variable
- Type in the variable prompts as shown below, then click OK
- Variable name: LSHOST
