Forms.INS(72) No String value associated with this variable

Question

When I try to distribute my application I need to make sure that
when my app installs it either adds or creates the environment
variable Forms60_Path. This can be done in the project
builder. When going through this one of the steps you have
ability to add new environment variables. So I add on one named
Forms60_Path with a value and contents of %PROD_HOME% and with
the append set to yes.
This now will give me either one or two errors when installing
the application. The first error is that because i am choosing
append set to yes it doesn't appear to be checking if the
variable is already there or not. What it does do is give me a
messages saying "A file not found while trying to translate
Forms60_Path from '$Oracle' would u like to retry, ignore or
process' I have choosen to process and the installer correctly
adds the registry entry. That is a good thing but i still
should not recieve an error when doing this it should check to
see if the Reg entry is there if not then create it, if it is
there then append to it. This only happens if you have append
set to yes and the environment variable does not exist in the
registry yet.
The second error is more concerning because it just cancels out
of the install all together. What it does no matter what under
any circurmstance after you have added an environment variable
in the delivery wizard is give u a message saying that
"Form_Name.INS(72) No String Value associated with this
variable" This error always comes up no matter what. After
looking throught the INS file I took out the line
"win32_register_map_variable(repl_var);" and I no longer
recieved that error. My question is why do I get this error and
what is the ramifications of taking this line out of the INS
file?
If no one else has had these problems I will be simply amazed!!!

Spencer,
I am also getting the error you got months ago. (The second one: FORM.ins(72): No string value associated with this variable.) Can you tell me how you were able
to fix it? I would appreciate it.
I am new to Project Builder and pretty
confused.
Thanks,
Monika
