Configuration Var 'MS' throws an error?

Team,

When I debug=5 MS 2004 or V8i I get an 'kind of' error that the definition of 'MS' from the msconfig.cfg

The debug shows that 'MS' was not defined and I have not found where in config to resolve it.

This happens in vanilla installs before any custom config is applied.

 

Has the MS variable in the msconfig.cfg been made redundant ?

    The comments in msconfig.cfg …

    #----------------------------------------------------------------------
    #
    # If MS is set using a system environment variable, and MSDIR is not
    # previously defined, then use the value of MS to set MSDIR.
    #
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------

    In a default MicroStation configuration, MS is not expected to be set. What the logic says in human terms is this …

    1. If MS is defined, then assign MSDIR to the value of MS
    2. If MSDIR has not been defined, assign it to the value of _ROOTDIR

    Environment variable MS is used in an MDL development setup.  That is, you would define  MS as a Windows variable if you were an MDL developer.  What I don't know is where & how _ROOTDIR is defined.
