Problem in Synplify pro (Project Navigator )

[MAAASD]

hello all,
when i try to open the project navigator in synplify pro from (options>>Xilinx>>Start ISE Project Navigator)
i get that silly error
"Environment variable XILINX is not set. Have you properly installed ISE Project Navigator?"
can you help me?
Thanks in advance!

How about ... configure your XILINX env variable properly. I assume you know how to set up an env variable?

Well, you google for a page with pretty pictures on the general procedure so I don't have to type it out because someone else already took the time and I am lazy and my coffee is getting cold but I know how difficult googling can be sometimes so here let me just google that for you one sec plz there we go first hit does the job: https://www.itechtalk.com/thread3595.html

Other than that of course you have read the docs on how to setup ISE for syplify? Right? Of course you have, you seem like the kind of fellow who reads the installation manual. Well, it's settled then! The docs tell you WHICH env vars are required and the above link tells you HOW to do it. Problem solved before my coffee is getting cold.
