Hey Doug This bit of information looks like a good little tit bit, just wondering if you would consider making it a little doc on the AG website????
All you would need to do is create a "page" and set it as either an "HowTo/Tutorial" or an "Other Topic". I guess I am just trying to encourage others to submit doc's as well.

You could create a AG.cmd file that sets the env variables locally before starting the VenueClient, with something like: @echo off set PYTHONHOME=C:\Python24 set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONHOME% set PYTHON=%PYTHONHOME%\python.exe set PYTHONW=%PYTHONHOME%\pythonw.exe set PATH=%PYTHONHOME%;%PATH% start "AG" "%PYTHONW%" "C:\Program Files\AccessGrid3\bin\VenueClient3.py" then double click AG.cmd. Cheers, Doug
