Powershell will open with your current file path. Ensure that the file path stated does not include the '<nowiki/>''assets''<nowiki/>', '<nowiki/>''mods''<nowiki/>', or '''lib''<nowiki/>' folders. Paste the following line into powershell, and press enter to run it.<syntaxhighlight lang="powershell">
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("VINTAGE_STORY", ($pwd.path), "User")
</syntaxhighlight>This will create the environment variable called "VINTAGE_STORY", and set its value to be the current working directory (the Vintage Story folder). The "user" parameter simply stores this variable as a user-only environment variable, meaning other users on your PC will not be able to use this variable.
