Is it possible to set multiple environment variables in one CMD line statement?

Question 1

I have a PowerShell script set to execute after an MSBuild is finished. It uses environment variables set in the POSTBUILD section of the build process (build directories and the like.) Currently it looks like this:

  set MAGE="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\mage.exe"
  set APPFILE=$(TargetDir)$(TargetName).application
  set MANIFEST=$(TargetPath).manifest
  set CERT=$(ProjectDir)$(TargetName).pfx
  set PROJECTNAME=$(TargetName)
  set CONFIGURATION=$(ConfigurationName)
  set TARGETDIR=$(TargetDir)
  set TEAMBUILD=$False
  Powershell -File "$(ProjectDir)POSTBUILD.ps1"

set MAGE="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\mage.exe"

set APPFILE=$(TargetDir)$(TargetName).application

set MANIFEST=$(TargetPath).manifest

set CERT=$(ProjectDir)$(TargetName).pfx

set PROJECTNAME=$(TargetName)

set CONFIGURATION=$(ConfigurationName)

set TARGETDIR=$(TargetDir)

set TEAMBUILD=$False

Powershell -File "$(ProjectDir)POSTBUILD.ps1"

With each set operating on a separate line, but still within the same CMD instance.

Is there a way I can set multiple variables at once using just one line instead of 7?

Question 2

Yes, you can pipe the commands together:

set A="hi" | set B="bye"

1 2	set A="hi" \| set B="bye"
