Variables in Environment Variable Editing

[Smurfer]

Hello, I have been working on an installer where I will need to dynamically set environment variable names along with their values.

I have noticed an issue with using the 'Edit Environment Variable' command. In the 'Variable' field when I try using a variable (%ENV_VAR%) that was set earlier, it uses the literal '%ENV_VAR%' as the variable name!

I have noticed you can read an environment variable without issue when you define the variable name with an variable.

I have tried giving it double and single quotes, extra percent signs.. none of that seems to change it from taking the exact characters in that field.

Please see my attachment for more info

Kyle,

We have added the following "change" to the installer runtime:

CHANGE : [SB#4-09111] Installer: The "Environment Variable" field in the "Edit Compiler Variable" script function can resolve runtime variables.

Awesome!, thank you very much!

You are very welcome :)

BTW, do have a specific deadline to meet?

Friedrich

[Smurfer]

Yes, End of next week.

Though this is the last part of it, I was going to do a powershell based thing until the SB update was released, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Absolutely no problem. I can upload an internal SB release for you, containing this change, on next Monday. Would this be early enough for you?

I really appreciate the customer care, attention to detail and personal service you offer!

Have a great weekend.
