Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Roger Pack (rogerdpack) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: adding to system PATH environment variable can *nuke* it Initial Comment: Hello. I noticed when installing this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-win/2.1/OpenCV-2.1.0-win32-vs2008.exe/download ("add to system path for all users") that it *deleted* my system PATH environment variable, and replaced it with (only) C:\OpenCV2.1\bin which is obviously bad. I realize this is probably caused by some other problem but just noting it since it surprised me. Cheers! -roger- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Anders (anders_k) Date: 2012-01-19 16:13 Message: NSIS does have a string limit that makes it problematic to manipulate the system wide path environment variable but your bug is probably is some 3rd party code or a snippet from the wiki and not something we can really do anything about on this tracker... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=373085&aid=3475080&group_id=22049 |
