I have a batch file that computes a variable via a series of intermediate variables:
@echo off
setlocal
set base=compute directory
set pkg=compute sub-directory
set scripts=%base%\%pkg%\Scripts
endlocal
%scripts%\activate.bat
The script on the last line isn't called, because it comes after endlocal, which clobbers the scripts environment variable, but it has to come after endlocal because its purpose is to set a bunch of other environment variables for use by the user.
How do I call a script who's purpose is to set permanent environment variables, but who's location is determined by a temporary environment variable?
I know I can create a temporary batch file before endlocal and call it after endlocal, which I will do if nothing else comes to light, but I would like to know if there is a less cringe-worthy solution.
