I am setting system environment variable on a Windows Server 2003 system using
the WiX Environment element like so:
<Environment Id="SetMyAppDir" Action="set" Name="MYAPPDIR"
Value="[INSTALLLOCATION]" System="yes" />
I can verify in control panel -> system after the installer runs that the it
was successfully defined, but when I open a new console window the variable is
not defined there. If I edit it in the control panel then open another console
window, it is defined there. The opposite case is also true: after uninstalling
and verifying that in the control panel that the environment variable has been
removed, subsequent console windows still see it. So it seems something is not
getting updated in the system cache. Is there some other action that can be
taken in the installer to fix this (short of scheduling a reboot)? WiX
3.0.4130.0. Thanks.
