neeverett added the comment: I think the original author adds the relative path "%APPDATA%..." with the intention to keep it effective even when the set path of APPDATA changes. However that compulsively changes the type of PATH var to REG_EXPAND_SZ.
It is reasonable that the type of PATH var should not be changed. So I think when the type is REG_SZ, not adding the %APPDATA% path and instead adding the absolute path of it should be a good idea. I just modified my PR and fixed it this way, along with other problems that Eryk Sun mentioned. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30374> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
