After EMC SourceOne 6.82.0121 upgrade environment variable Path leaves blank.
Hello
I ran in to serious issue while deploying EMC SourceOne 6.82.0121 version to PCs which already has 6.80.4133.
Installation includes only these variables (taken from SourceOne Guide pdf).
If UCase(sArgument) = "INSTALL" Then
strInstallString = Chr(34) & strScriptDir & "\ES1_OfflineAccess.exe" & Chr(34) & " /s /update /v" & Chr(34) & " /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress"
code_Return = WshShell.run(strInstallString, , True)
After the installation for 50% of workstations the environment variable Path left blank! Other 50% seems to be OK.
Logs from the installation:

As a result of this:
As you know without this variable system comes unstable and any other applications who use variables fails.
Any help will be appreciated!

Greetings,
Thank you for raising this concern and topic. I have briefly looked at the entries mentioned above. I remember there used to be an issue with 6.7.2.0017 of Offline Access where it will add duplicate entries to PATH variable. Code was changed to make sure it takes care of the duplicate entries and do not create unwanted entries.
Looking at entried you pasted above, it seems installer is finding "C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0" and "C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\EMC". May be that could be causing conflict with the logic used to clean up if duplicates are found.
Can you please check if issue occurs on the machine that have duplicate entries in the PATH variable. Still I will suggest you to open service request with support using support.emc.com website and let support have a look at the issue. I believe we should be able to reproduce the issue to an extent and get engineeing to look into the logic.
Thanks,
Rajan

We removed:
EX_PATH_Set
EX_PATH_Del2
EX_PATH_Del
commands from installation and added our own path set and now it seems to be working.
