PATH environment variable reset by ELMER by installation

Post by Oxenfrogga »

Dear All,

today I installed Elmer 6.0 4440. After the installation process, my entire (rather huge) PATH environment varibale was reset to "C:\Elmer6.0\lib;C:\Elmer6.0\bin;" on my Win XP machine, causing a lot of confusion to other programs.

From my point of view, this is a rather major problem because it spoils vital parts of the OS and therefore is a bug. I'd suggest elmer should rather only add its specific entries.

Thanks a lot,
Oxenfrogga
