Initially I tested it on my system but my path was %SystemRoot%\system32\<strong>Wbem</strong> and nothing happened - after I changed it manually to WBEM I was able to reproduce it.</p> <p>Anyway, thank you for reporting this as it allowed us to fix it. It would be great if you could download the test build 262 and see if it works ok - <a href="http://www.dopdf.com/download/setup/dopdf.exe" rel="nofollow">http://www.dopdf.com/download/setup/dopdf.exe</a><br /> I tested it here and the bug is fixed.</p> <p>We'll probably make this release official tomorrow or on Thursday. Once again thank you. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/big-bug60260-dopdf-installer-will-modify-path-type-to-reg_sz#post-24 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:07:04 +0000 Natori 24@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>dopdf.exe<br /> doPDF 6 printer Setup (0.6.0.260)<br /> CRC:31707995<br /> MD5:480f940fa63dbfd2a613539ba97b4832 </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/big-bug60260-dopdf-installer-will-modify-path-type-to-reg_sz#post-23 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 19:54:27 +0000 Natori 23@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Before doPDF</p> <p>Path REG_EXPAND_SZ<br /> %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM</p> <p><a href="http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj23/gofight/temp/dopdf1.png" rel="nofollow">http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj23/gofight/temp/dopdf1.png</a><br /> (Temporary Pic URL)</p> <p>After doPDF</p> <p>Path REG_SZ<br /> %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem</p> <p>&gt;Add C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem<br /> Windows Default install Path(C: partition) users cannot experience any Security Center problem.</p> <p><a href="http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj23/gofight/temp/dopdf2.png" rel="nofollow">http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj23/gofight/temp/dopdf2.png</a><br /> (Temporary Pic URL)</p> <p>I install "PrimoPDF" and "PDF reDirect" no this problem.

Furthermore, doPDF does not add or modify any Environment Variables, it only reads them. So I doubt this was changed by dopdf, make sure you haven't installed a different program in the meanwhile that changed it - plus, this is the only report of this type until now, if it was a bug in dopdf I'm sure we would have gotten several reports. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/big-bug60260-dopdf-installer-will-modify-path-type-to-reg_sz#post-19 Sat, 31 May 2008 17:07:30 +0000 Natori 19@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Solution</p> <p>Copy Path values content<br /> Del Path values<br /> Create values, Name "Path", Type "REG_EXPAND_SZ"<br /> Double click on "Path", paste, click OK. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/big-bug60260-dopdf-installer-will-modify-path-type-to-reg_sz#post-18 Sat, 31 May 2008 16:53:57 +0000 Natori 18@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>[Big Bug]6.0.260 doPDF installer will modify Environment Variable "Path" type to "REG_SZ".</p> <p>"Path" type modify to "REG_SZ", In the "Path" variable(%SystemRoot%,etc.) will be invalid.</p> <p>%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM<br /> Security Center cannot surveillance firewall and anti-virus.</p> <p>%SystemRoot%\system32<br /> Command Prompt(cmd.exe) on Default Path(%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%) cannot run system tool.(help, chkdsk, format, etc.) </p>
