using enviromental variables when calling programms

[Klayer]

For portability reasons I would like to use environment variables when deploying the "start application" plugin.
Is there a way?

Example:
"C:\programs\test\test.exe" I would like to replace by "%PROGRAMFILES%\test\test.exe".

Here in EventGhost you can access the system folders via eg.folderPath.
For example the %PROGRAMFILES% you get as eg.folderPath.ProgramFiles.
So, in the Start Application action you can do it like in the following example:

To see all available folders, you can do in a script:

Code: Select all

for name in eg.folderPath.__ALL__:
    print name + ": " + getattr(eg.folderPath, name)
