Vista - environment variable not seen

environment variable not seen

I maintain software written some time back with the discontinued IBM VisualAge C++ system.

I recently added a laptop with Vista x64 and I am hoping to avoid dual booting with XP.

The problem is that in Vista I have set the environment variables that the IBM system requires, but the VisualAge system doesn't see them. Example: The IDE in startup tell me it can't find a required file, would I please set the environment variable IWF.CONFIG_PATH. This IS set correctly. Is this software compatability? or can I do something to make the variable visible to my application.

Thanks
