I'm intrigued by this customisation. I have a compilation of vim
without OLE that I use on my USB stick. This has:
x:\vim\vim72\...
x:\vim\vimfiles\...
x:\vim\_vimrc
x:\vim\_gvimrc
(where x: is whatever drive letter the USB stick is allocated).
These files are identical to the ones I have installed on the hard
drive of the PC (except that gvim.exe doesn't have OLE compiled in)
and in the same location (except replace x: with c:). I've never
needed to set up environment variables or anything else and I get all
of my customisations. So what is the launcher doing? What
environment variables are being set?
