Wampserver Upgrade: Environment variable Error

Today I upgrade WampServer 3.1.0 to 3.13 . After upgradation an error is displaying in Wampserver icon. The error is, enter image description here

After searching around with Google, I come to know that there is a unwanted environmant path in the environment variable in my windows system.

This is the list of environment variables existing in my system. enter image description here

As you can see there is no variable path showing like in the system. So I'm little weak in OS trouble shooting and I do some investigation using CMD. When I tried to dispaly environment variables via CMD with using echo %path:;=&echo.% I'm getting the following result and I can see the PHP variable path as mentioned in the wampserver error. enter image description here

So, how can I remove it via CMD or anyother way ?

Solution

  • The setting will be in the Path environment variable.

    So first click on the line containing Path under User Variables then click the Edit button.

    That should allow you to look at ALL the PATH settings. Remove the reference to PHP if it exists in there

    Do the same for the Path if you see one in the System Variables section, and again remove the reference to php if it exists in there.

    It may also be a good idea to reboot the PC once these have been removed.
