I know that I have to define the environment variable before or after starting the application or IDE. As I said, works in WinXP... but I had a little problem with a client using Win7 so, I talked about this on lazarus-br list and asked to somebody do the test on Win7 and they said the test did not work so, I wrote here.
I think the absolutely crucial thing here is to ask what the relationship between the session in which the shell/environment variable was defined, and the FPC program.
If the variable is set and the program is run from the same prompt, provided that it's not messed up by extra spaces or by e.g. an interposed command.com, then it should work.
In any other case it might work, and it's entirely reasonable to assume that the extent to which variables are passed between running processes will vary wildly with OS version.
I suggest the *first* thing to do is to confirm that the variable has stuck by using the set command. After that try running the Pascal program.
