Description:
------------
I have been using the windows installer, with the "/s" option for a silent install, and have found that it breaks the OS environment variable.

For example

Instread of path being

path=c:\windows;c:\windows\system32; .....

It becomes

path=%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32;......

It set the path variable to reference another variable, which just does not seem to work.  Only the windows and windows system entries in path are effected.

If the installer is used normally, not silent, the issue does not appear.

Phil, have you checked this report yet..?

Does this happen with the latest release? (5.1.1)
 [2005-12-20 01:24 UTC] john dot jantjes at gmail dot com 
No, 5.1 has resolved this issue.

This ticket can be closed.

The installer software did not change between versions, so 
I suspect that the original cause of the problem was 
something other than the installer - perhaps a screwed up 
environment being passed to the installer at startup. 
I'm not a windows user, but I wonder if this is a problem 
at all, since %SystemRoot% would most likely correctly 
resolve to c:\windows in any event.
