Environment

UIM 8.xRobot update from 7.92HF3 to 7.92HF9

Cause

The upgrade from 7.92HF3 to 7.92HF9 fails because of an empty value for the variable "PATH=" like the below in the environment variables in the robot.cfg:

 

   <environment>

      NIM_JRE_HOME = jre/jre7

      NIM_JRE_HOME_1_7 = jre/jre7

      PATH = 

   </environment>

 

 

Resolution

To resolve this remove the "PATH=" from the robot.cfg.

1) open the controller GUI 

2) go to Setup>Environment tab (Environment Variables)

3) delete the PATH variable which has an empty value

 

Test the robot_update upgrade again
