Summary: Wipes Path variable in windows xp

Initial Comment:
Hi,

After installing ooRexx, I noticed that certain programs stopped working, when I checked the
Path environment setting everything is wiped apart from the ooRexx one.

I think this maybe a bug in the install, as other programs append to Path and do not overwrite it.

I am hoping that a system restore will restore my old path settings as there were a number of settings for other
programs in there.

The version I installed is ooRex311.exe
Windows XP SP2

I have not installed anything else since

I've changed my opinion as to this bug.

I'm going to close this bug as a duplicate of:

[ 1859612 ] Windows installation overwritten PATH variable

even though this bug was opened up first.  This does not mean I don't
consider this bug valid, I do.  I just want to track every thing in one bug
and have picked 1859612 as the bug to use.

Please watch / and or post new comment to 1859612.  Thanks.

I am of the opinion that this is not a valid bug.  I've installed 100s of
times and never seen a problem with the path.

Without the reporter supplying some way of reproducing it, I don't see
that much can be done about it.  And with only one report of this, it seems
more likely to me that something unrelated to ooRexx was going on.

I don't like arbitrarily closing a bug, but I have been tempted a number
of times to close this one.  Of course if Rick or David closed it, I'd be
in full support of that.  <grin>

Has anyone been able to duplicate this?  I've installed ooRexx no less
than a dozen time in the last week with each Rev. of 3.2 and never had any
damage done to my path.
