Description
Issue when installing OpenModelica:
Uninstalled my previous (old) OpenModelica and removed manually the entries in the start menu, and all keys in the registry with the string OpenModelica.
Installed 1.9.2 Nightly build (rev. 23751). A wrong start menu was build (referencing OpenModelica 1.9.0). After manually correcting the path names of the start menu, none of the programs started. Manually executing the programs from the bin directory resulted in:
OMNotebook.exe: Was unable to start OMC, OMNotebook will therefore be unable to evaluate Modelica expressions.
OMEdit.exe: Could not find environment variable OPENMODELICAHOME. Please make sure OpenModelica is installed properly.
Set manually the OPENMODELICAHOME environment variable. Afterwards, all the programs worked as expected.
Therefore, there seems to be the following (minor) issues with 1.9.2 Nightly build:
- The start menu is not correctly generated (refering to the wrong path)
- The environment variable OPENMODELICAHOME is not set.
I then installed 1.9.1: No start menu was build (or I made a mistake when installing it), and the programs did not run either. So again the OPENMODELICAHOME environment variable is not set

Replying to adrpo:
Questions:
- Did you installed only for you or you did a system wide install?
Only for me (not system wide)
- What happens if you do an logout or restart? Does the OPENMODELICAHOME variable points to where it should?
I use Windows 7. Once OpenModelica was installed, there was no OPENMODELICAHOME environment variable defined. After I defined it manually, OpenModelica did still not work. I logged out and then logged in again, and then OpenModelica worked.
