Hi, Actually, ORIGINAL_PATH is not a local variable, but is used as a flag so that when Edk2Setup (or edksetup) is run multiple times in the same command prompt window, the EDK II BaseTools path does not get added more than one time, along with other changes to the PATH. The design allowed for using Edk2Setup once with --nt32 for including visual studio tools, then run it a second time without the flag and the visual studio tools would be cleared from the PATH. Cheers, Larry
