error while installing client

Hi all,
I'm getting the following error in the system check stage while installing client:

The following directories must be in the system path: Windows, system32, system32/wbem.

Add %SystemRoot%, %SystemRoot%\System32, %SystemRoot%\System32\wbem in front of your System PATH, then restart installation. If you do not add these two paths, your installation will not succeed.

I'm installing with administrator permissions and I can see the directories
C:\WINDOWS\system32\
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem

Any suggestion what can be the cause?

Thanks ahead

Is C:\WINDOWS in your PATH?

Thanks for the quick response, Ray.

What exactly do you mean "in your path"?
Is the fact those two directories exist - not enough?

Nope, not enough. As noted they need to be in your Path environment variable. My Computer / right-click / Properties / Advanced tab / Environment Variables, then edit Path in the System variables window to include them as noted.

Thanks guys!
That was the problem.
I'm marking this topic as resolved

Now, finally we can upgrade from ancient 7.51A to 8.5!
