Environment Variable question. QTP doesn't recognize env-variables

[Syed Shahul Hameed Mustaffa]

Thanks Joe, Ken.

Joe! I checked #set.. from QTP. It is picking up the correct value. However
when I attempt to run the qtp (cmd /c
qtp.exedict=D:\HERDSPRD\Dictionary\hms.pdc
auto=D:\HERDSPRD\RemoteBuild\test.qtc)
it fails with the following error message. But in development it is working
without any problem.

============ ERROR MESSAGE ======================
Data access error.
   File:  $PSLOC2\alupdd

Action Taken: Run terminated.
-------------------------------------
No such file or directory (ERRNO 2)
   File:  $PSLOC2\alupdd
-------------------------------------

Finished.
=================================================

Ken! This system environment variable is a permanant one (Created from
Windows MyComputer). The same code was working well before.


Regards,
SYED.
