Environment variables do not apply without reboot

[Kamp]

Hello!

Created the msi package, which sets the system environment variables (test.msi). I included this msi in the pre-installation (feature-based) in the main exe (main.exe). After the installation of the main.exe, the system environment variables appeared, but they are not valid until you restart the computer.
But if you first install separately msi, and then main.exe (without test.msi), then everything works without restarting the computer.

What should I do to get around this problem?

Hi,

Please take a look on the "Propogating Environment Variables" and "Environment Variables" threads which debate the same problem.

Best regards,

Thank you! I had to do my exe-file with WM_SETTINGCHANGE.
