Set the Path Operating System Variable

Assuming you installed in the default folder, add the following to the operating system PATH variable:

"C:\Program Files\Softinterface, Inc\ConvertXLS\"

to avoid this error:

"ConvertXLS is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

 

For Windows XP:

1.    Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced

2.    Click on Environment Variables, under System Variables, find PATH, and click on it.

3.    In the Edit windows, modify PATH by adding the location of the class to the value for PATH. If you do not have the item PATH, you may select to add a new variable and add PATH as the name and the location of the class as the value.

4.    Close the window.

For Windows Vista:

1.    Right click “My Computer” icon

2.    Choose “Properties” from context menu

3.    Click “Advanced” tab (“Advanced system settings” link in Vista)

4.    In the Edit windows, modify PATH by adding the location of the class to the value for PATH. If you do not have the item PATH, you may select to add a new variable and add PATH as the name and the location of the class as the value.

 

If your operating system is not listed above try searching on Environment Variables in the operating system help (or Google it).
