Good morning,

I would like to understand how environment variables are used in wapt packages.
For example, I want to launch a VBScript from a command line:
cscript.exe is located in c:\windows\system32, so its environment variable would look something like %systemroot%\system32

In my setup.py file, how do I interpret the systemroot variable? (I have several somewhat unusual installation scenarios where Windows is not stored in C but on another drive.)

Thank you in advance for your insightful answers

Good morning,

You can use the os module from the Python standard library
which returns "C:\Windows" if Windows is indeed installed on C:\
