Bug with %programfiles% variable in 64 bit
|
When I do something like this:
Code:
if exist ("%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\") = 1
then do whatever
EndifThis will detect c:\program files\mozilla Firefox\ in Windows 7 32 bit, but does not work in Windows 7 64 bit. I have to change %programfiles% to c:\program files.
Yet when I run set in cmd on Windows 7 64 bit, the %programfiles% variable definitely points to c:\program files.
So I assume that this is some bug in Kixtart. Tried with versions 4.66 and 4.67

Shouldn't kixtart read whatever set is showing in the command prompt rather than kix relying on being a 32 bit or 64 bit process. In windows itself, the set command shows as c:\program files and thats what kix should be reading.
I will implement the changes as directed in the other thread or just simply change the coding to use c:\program files as I don't have anything that in the c:\program files (x86) folder that the script needs to know about.
Thanks

I agree, maybe if we talk to Ruud, he can do something about it.
