Hi everyone,

It seems that reinstalling XSharp messes up my PATH environment variable.

Before the reinstallation, my PATH looked like this:

: Screenshot 2025-12-17 095449_2.png (9.43 KiB) Viewed 308 times

After the reinstall, it looks like this:

: Screenshot 2025-12-18 160646_2.png (9.07 KiB) Viewed 308 times

It looks like an extra colon (":") is being removed, which causes two paths to merge and getting useless by this.

Has anyone else observed this behavior?

Best regards
Johannes

Hello,
I have observed also the problem with merged paths. Until now I was not able to figure out, what causes this

Thanks for reporting this.

The merged PATH entries clearly indicate that the ; separator is being lost during the reinstall; which points to an installer issue when updating the PATH variable. We'll take a closer look at how the installer modifies PATH during reinstall/update.

Hi,
I encountered this issue a long time ago. The EXE compiled with VFP simply fails to launch once the problem occurs.
