So you claim you can enforce a crash with nothing more than just an empty value defined. Could you send me the package, host or profile specification which is causing this? As you know variables can be specified in multiple places and I might just have tested a different one than you. Although I've tested your definition <variable name="MyVar" value=""/> in package and profile specification but could not enforce a crash unless I omit/misspell one of the attributes. br, Rainer |
