I imported a project from FB5 and it fails when I create strings from variables ie C:\ERMSv2\%ProjectPath%\%ProjectName%.cfg From the log: Current variable values : ProjectList = bDescprj.exe: BDesc\bDescprj.dpr ProjectName = bDescprj ProjectPath = BDesc Success Copying files: C:\ERMSv2\dcc32.cfg -\> C:\ERMSv2\\.cfg ---

Might be fixed, please try this build: [https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/600/FB600\_514.exe](https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/600/FB600_514.exe) ---

that seems to have fixed that bug. There was some strange interaction with the file contents iterator that caused it. ---

Hi. I am having the same issues as described in this thread. I am running FB6 6.0.0.574. My problem consist of my variables are not expanded correct. v\_ApplicationName = testname v\_tfsworkspacelocalpath = d:\%v\_applicationName%\%USERNAME% v\_FinalBuilderPath=%v\_tfsworkspacelocalpath%\finalbuilderscripts\moss These variables are defined in the project tab. When I try to read an ini file located at %v\_FinalBuilderPath%\BuildDeploy\environment.ini it resolves it to: File d:\testname\\finalbuilderscripts\moss\BuildDeploy\environment.ini does not exist. I have put in the missing username as the string is empty. What is odd that it resolves the first variabel v\_applicationName but not the windows variable %username%. Any ideas why this happens? ---

Hi Peter, If you edit the v\_tfsworkspacelocalpath and v\_FinalBuilderPath variables and enable the “Macro” option on them, it will force them to always re-revaluate the value of these variables when they are read. Nevertheless, in this case it should have evaluated %USERNAME% correctly, so it looks like a bug. I’ll investigate it and get back to you (although the Macro change described above should fix the problem for now.) Regards, Angus ---

Hi Peter Can you send your project or an example project that shows this issue to support at finalbuilder dot com so we can see what is going on. I’ve tried to reproduce this here but so far it’s behaving fine. ---

Hi Vincent.   I have emailed you a test project, which does not resolve the system varibles. It is assigned case nomber Case 29536.   Kind regards   Peter ---
