Assuming you are prepared to rely on the Windows API, when you call the
CreateProcessfunction to launch a process, you have thelpEnvironmentparameter.Normally you pass
NULLwhich means, use the environment of the creating process. However, you can supply an environment block which will be used by the new process.The environment block that you pass is a null-terminated block of null-terminated strings. For example:
defines two separate variables.
