<details>

<summary>Environment Variables</summary>

Running *install.bat* sets two environment variables which are used in later context: `BC_EXE` and `BC_DIR`. To check whether they are set properly, run **`set BC_DIR`** from any command prompt.

```
c:\> set BC_DIR
BC_DIR=C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Programs\BoomiConsole
```

Be aware, if you run *BoomiConsole.exe* once from a command prompt, you must **close and re-open the terminal** window, to activate the changes to the environment variables.
