Path variables

Cameyo uses variablized path naming. For example, the generic form of "C:\Program Files\abc.exe" is: "%Program Files%\abc.exe".

This convention makes paths work on any system regardless of Windows installation drive, language, customized profile and user paths etc.

System environment variables can be injected into a Cameyo path by using "%%". For example: "%%TEMP%%" is substituted by Windows' environment variable TEMP. So for example setting the virtual repository's location to "%%TEMP%%\Cameyo" is be translated into: "C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\Cameyo".
