Environment Variable Availability
All,
Are Environment Variables set by the installation available within the install at any point? We are setting some system vars as part of our install and need to run some external 3rd party batch files. Do we need to run these batch files as commit execution and then pass them along as customActionData to a CA?
Otherwise we will have to use the batchfile editing functions to add them to the beginning of the batch file before launching it.
thanks,
Jesse

The documentation on the Environment Variable table answers your question:
