Datamapper Builder can't run without Datamapper Environment Error Message

Problem

When launching Datamapper you receive the following error: "Datamapper Builder can't run without Datamapper Environment"


Resolution


The error "Datamapper Builder can't run without Datamapper environment" occurs because the System Environment variable 'ND_HOME' is not set to the Datamapper installation folder. To fix this, you need declare a new System Environment Variable named 'ND_HOME', with the variable value being the Datamapper installation directory [for e.g. C:\XIBv2\Datamapper]. Instructions for setting this Enviornment Variable can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310519
