How to specify environment when using custom OI

[rdecarre11]

Can you elaborate on why this didn't work?

I tried setting the "TestStand" environment variables of a cmd.exe instance to my AppData and PubDocs folders. When I ran seqedit.exe from that cmd.exe I was hoping the engine would use those environment variables and launch in a fake Global environment that I had overridden.

That didn't work  I guess seqedit has hardcoded Global environment settings?

How are the default folders setup?

Hold up...
That link you sent before had a snippet that I didn't think would work, but did.
I created an instance of IEngineInitializationSettings class in LabVIEW and used SetEnvironmentPath() before calling ApplicationManager.GetEngine() and it worked.
The instance of ApplicationManager was likely already loaded at the point where I called SetEnvironmentPath(), so I figured it would not work, but it did! So I can use that in my TSUI to set the environment.

You'll want to call it before ApplicationMgr.Start(). It should throw an exception if you try to set it after that.

Hi rfdecarre11, how do you create an instance of IEngineInitializationSettings class in LabVIEW?
