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.
