The installer software did not change between versions, so 
I suspect that the original cause of the problem was 
something other than the installer - perhaps a screwed up 
environment being passed to the installer at startup. 
I'm not a windows user, but I wonder if this is a problem 
at all, since %SystemRoot% would most likely correctly 
resolve to c:\windows in any event.

No, 5.1 has resolved this issue.

This ticket can be closed.

Does this happen with the latest release? (5.1.1)

If the installer is used normally, not silent, the issue does not
appear.

Description:
------------
I have been using the windows installer, with the "/s" option for a
silent install, and have found that it breaks the OS environment
variable.

For example

Instread of path being

path=c:\windows;c:\windows\system32; .....

It becomes

path=%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32;......

It set the path variable to reference another variable, which just does
not seem to work.  Only the windows and windows system entries in path
are effected.
