Setting Environment Variables with Spaces in the Path

1. We can use one temp variable to store the path with  spaces, after we can use this variable for setting the environment variables.

For ex:

to set JAVA_HOME, I can use below commands:

set temp=c:\program files\java\jre7

set JAVA_HOME="%temp%"

  set "JAVA_HOME=c:\program files\java\jre7"
