System 11 Essbase 11.1.3 - Maxl Start up issue

Question

Working on a upgrade project from system 7 to 11, Shared services, EAS, Essbase everything seems to be installed and running fine, was able to migrate and acess Essbase apps via EAS smart view etc but issue persists with MAXL.
unable to start ESSMSH.exe manually or through automaiton.
Think its searching for arborpath , but with new system 11 its not set as a environment variable do i need to add it to the PATH ,Error on trying to access MAXl through automation is listed as follows
Error initializing localization module*
Environment variable  ARBORPATH is not set.*
SET PATH variable values the Server
D:\Hyperion\common\CSS\9.5.0.0\bin;
%SystemRoot%\system32;
%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\oma\bin;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\idrac;
D:\Hyperion\common\ODBC-64\Merant\5.2\Drivers;

Answer 1

This is a weird one -- I've been at clients where the path was "wrong" (on the server, not the client) -- same thing, I couldn't run MaxL and was told that the answer was to use startMaxL.cmd from its native directory. That make sense to me then and still doesn't.
startMaxL does indeed work.
Here's the path from my VM server:
PATH=C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin;C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Hyperion\common\CSS\9.5.0.0\bin;C:\Hyperion\common\SAP\bin;C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialManagement\Common;C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialManagement\Client;C:\Hyperion\products\FinancialManagement\Server;C:\Hyperion\common\ODBC\Merant\5.2\Drivers;C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\console\bin;C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\server\bin;C:\Hyperion\common\JRE\Sun\1.5.0\bin
Arborpath:
C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient
I can run essmsh.exe from anywhere on that server.
startMaxl.cmd is in two places: c:\hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer\bin and c:\hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin
You can see that the path goes right to essbaseclient\bin.
