https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18425 Issue ID: 18425 Summary: std.process environment["VAR"] = "NAME" does not always take effect Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86 OS: Windows Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: phobos Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: johnnymarler gmail.com Mike Franklin had a heck of a time dealing with an apparent bug in `std.process` where setting an environment variable in windows doesn't appear to take effect. By "take effect" I mean, a child process did not receive the new value set by the parent process using `environemnt["VAR"] = "VALUE";`. phobos uses the `SetEnvironmentVariableW` function for all windows platforms/runtimes, however, Mike only started having success once he started using `putenv` for `version(Win32)`.
