using getEnvVar inside other WPI commands

[bobmiers]

Hello all

 

I'm attempting to write a template for creating installs for about 30 similar applications and would like to use the setEnvVar and getEnvVar functions.

 

Because I need to have the text string used in multiple WPI cmd lines, I would like to use the setEnvVar to inset a folder name into an Env Variable.  This would allow me to edit the name in one place. (Creating the env var was accomplish with {JSCRIPT}=setEnvVar("FoxFolderName","Fox001",true)  I've checked the environment for this variable and value is there and correct.

 

However when I attempt to put the getEnvVar() in to other WPI cmds, such as:

{JSCRIPT}=if (!FolderExists("%ProgramFiles(x86)%\FoxgloveMisc\getEnvVar("FoxFolderName")\")) RunCmd('cmd /c mkdir "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\FoxgloveMisc\"',false,true)

 

the command fails.

 

Any help/hint will be appreciated.
