Hi, An installationen variable keeps resetting when I restart a program. It keeps jumping back to the original value I set it as, acting as local variable. Is this a bug? Ive encountered this a few times before, and I cant find a reason for it. /Tor ---

Does your program have a line that sets the value of that variable? ---
