well it's not a clue. i said that. i told you i was updating it in a vm.
the sysop runs his bbs on shitty windows 8 so i made a vm to update it to 
make sure things would run for him.

if you run the update, and  you type in the path in the update program the
updater script wont use that path and expects sbbs/.  it should atleast nag 
the person to set the environment variable.  and i thought we didn't have to 
do that manually anymore?

it would be ideal if the update script actually used the path it asks the user
to provide. https://i.imgur.com/NX3gcEd.png

in the install i typed in the correct path to the synchronet install, and the
update script still expects sbbs

And why are you still using the windows registry when you have all these ini
files?
