[Denemo-devel] [bug #50176] Denemo installation overwrites PATH variable on Windows 7

[Richard Shann]

Update of bug #50176 (project denemo):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #1:

Is this new?
We used to have reports like this a few years ago. I thought it had long been
fixed.
The workaround would be to use the non-installer version (see denemo.org for
that).

I see in
http://www.denemo.org/~jjbenham/gub/nsis/denemo.nsi

that there is still a line

Call registry_path

and I see the definition of registry_path:

Function registry_path
        ReadRegStr $R0 HKLM "${ENVIRON}" "PATH"
        WriteRegExpandStr HKLM "${ENVIRON}" "PATH" "$R0;$INSTDIR\usr\bin"
FunctionEnd

which looks like it would append. But as far as I know, Denemo doesn't use the
path (does it use it to find LilyPond?) so perhaps the call registry_path line
could be deleted.

Perhaps Jeremiah could test this possibility?
