      Observed in Windows XP x86, probably also happens on other platforms.

      I would like to request that in the "Additional mkview arguments" field make it so that I can use environment variables in that field and they will be resolved.

      I tried ${MY_VAR} and %MY_VAR% and $MY_VAR to no avail, all went through as literal arguments to mkview.

      (the problem is I need to do -vws in UNC path, and the only way I can accomplish that now is by hard coding it, I would need to be able to use %COMPUTERNAME% in there.)

      My current workaround is to manually change this value in every job configuration, every time I deploy the jobs to a new server. I could also write a script to change them all. But best would be if they would just use the %COMPUTERNAME% to figure out the correct path automatically.
