Hi,
Our MSI uses the inbuilt Environment
WIX element to add a directory to PATH
variable. We are seeing an issue on Windows Blue/8.1 where this does not get
reflected until the user logs off and logs on. Is this a known issue? Are there
any alternatives to set the environment variable other tha

Hello,
We have converted one of our installer projects to WiX and it seems to
work well. However, on our development machines we have an environment
variable, ProjectPath, which is completely unrelated to WiX. When the
project is built from Visual Studio (2012), this environment variable is

Is it possible that the child process (the batch file) is picking up the same
environment as the MSI (parent process?) and in order for it to pick up the
new environment variable it would have to somehow refresh its environment?
I'm not sure how to do that.

I am setting Environment variable like below. Later in one of the custom
