Unable to EnvGet("SESSIONNAME")

[Xichael]

In CMD, echo %SESSIONNAME% works fine, but AutoIt's EnvGet("SESSIONNAME") produces nothing. Anyone know how to get this working?

Works fine here. Have you checked to see what the result is for "echo %SESSIONNAME% " when running the 32 cmd version? ( %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe )

it works here (win7 x64 AutoIt v 3.3.14.2)

Local $sValue = EnvGet("SESSIONNAME")
MsgBox(0, "EnvGet", $sValue)

Yes, that's working.

What is the output of this script when ran in SciTE: ?

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
Local $iPID = Run(@ComSpec & ' /C set ',"", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
ProcessWaitClose($iPID)
Local $sOutput = StdoutRead($iPID)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $sOutput = ' & $sOutput & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

It's actually working if I launch the script  from Cmd or the Run window, but if I launch with a double-click from Explorer, EnvGet("SESSIONNAME") is empty.

Similar situation here; if I launch SciTE from the Explorer context menu and F5 to run your script, no SESSIONNAME in the console, but if I launch SciTE from the start menu and run it, it's there.

Still struggling with this one, if anyone can help.

Quick recap:

Works fine if I Win+R > C:\Path\To\Script.au3, but fails if I double-click from Explorer (both 32 and 64 bit).

MsgBox('','',EnvGet('sessionname'))

It appears to be using System Session rather than the User Session, you probably could use:

ExpandEnvironmentStringsForUser

However for me its easier just to get the info from registry for example:

Func _RegSessionName()
    Local $i = 1, $sRegRoot = "HKCU\Volatile Environment", $sRegKey, $sRegVal = ""
    While 1
        $sRegKey = RegEnumKey($sRegRoot, $i)
            If @error Then ExitLoop
        $sRegVal = RegRead($sRegRoot & "\" & $sRegKey, "SessionName")
        If $sRegVal <> "" Then Return $sRegVal
        $i += 1
    WEnd
    Return ""
EndFunc

Thanks, that works great. Wondering though, when would SessionName ever not be at key 1? It'd be nice if I could just use this: 

RegRead('HKCU\Volatile Environment\1', 'SessionName')

Also, is this System Session vs User Session situation with EnvGet a bug?
