Thanks for filling me in - yeah, I kind of figured that - which is why I didn't post a "bug" about it. When you work portable on various systems, you learn to mistrust your own settings related to program files.PeterH wrote:Shows that XY is 32bit, on a 64bit system, I thinkStef123 wrote:EDIT: I just remembered something: A few weeks ago I had to hard-wire a path because XY resolved %programfiles% to "C:\Program Files (x86)"
None of this is XY's doing but the way Microsoft has decided to do things.grindax wrote:If I go to Help -> Environment Variables, this is what I see:
%ProgramFiles% = C:\Program Files (x86)
%ProgramFiles(x86)% = C:\Program Files (x86)
%ProgramW6432% = C:\Program Files
This is on a 64-bit system. In this case, it's not helpful that XY sees %ProgramFiles% differently to the operating system. Windows knows that %ProgramFiles% should resolve to 'C:\Program Files'. So the fact that XY uses the same name for that environment variable caused the confusion.
