What environment variables does IDE need?

[vefatica]

After "UNSET *", "BDEBUGGER batfile" results in

---------------------------
IDE.EXE - Application Error
---------------------------
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150004). Click on OK to terminate the application.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

What's up with that?

It needs SystemRoot.

IDE doesn't care. Windows is exploding when IDE.EXE tries to load a COM dll
(islicense40.dll) when %SystemRoot% isn't present.

Bad things in general will happen in Windows if %SystemRoot% isn't present
(for example, rundll32 gets upset & fails to locate most everything).

Yes! A lot of MS apps don't like it either.
