Re: [Wrapper-user] environment variables

[Todd E. <ten...@te...>]

Hi Leif,
The variable is set to c:\windows in the control panel, and this is =
verified by going to a command prompt and typing SET.  I also have =
windir=3Dc:\windows in the system variables but no setting in the user =
section.

I have get the same results by running wrapper as either a console app, =
or a service.

I'll keep digging on my end. =20

Thanks,
Todd

  Todd,
      Strange, All the wrapper does is call the standard Windows API to =
get the
  system environment variable's value.

      I just tested this on a Windows XP machine and on my machine I got =
the correct
  value:  C:\WINDOWS

      What do you get if you open a command prompt and type SET at the =
prompt?

      Do you see this problem when run as both a service and as a =
console app?  Or
  just one or the other?

      You might want to go in and look at the environment variable =
setting in the
  system control panel.  There are two sections.  User variables and =
system
  variables.  I have windir=3Dc:\windows in the system variables but no =
setting in the
  user section.  If the variable is set in both places, then you may be =
getting
  different values depending on context.

      Let me know whether or not any of this helps.

      Cheers,
      Leif
