[Nant-users] sysinfo problem -- not setting all system variables

[Anthony DeLuca]

It is my understanding that <sysinfo/> should pull all of your system enviroment variables into nant for reference. It seems that all of my variables are not being pulled in. In particular I want sys.env.SRCROOT to be available.   I have set sys.env.SRCROOT in the following ways. Both of these methods lead to “sys.env.SRCROOT =  <path>” being displayed when doing a “set” from the Dos box which is being used to call Nant.: 1) By setting it as a system variable through system properties. 2) By adding it with “sys.env.SRCROOT = <value>” in a Dos box.   I have tried calling “<sysinfo/>” the following ways which yield the ‘verbose’ results noted below each item. Each one of these attemts DID NOT set sys.env.SRCROOT…: 1)      <sysinfo verbose=”true”/> ------ OUTPUT START ------ Target(s) specified: usage   [sysinfo] Setting system information properties under
