Remarks
If the parent EnvironmentVariables element for the Variable element is the child of the PreStep, RunStep, or PostStep element, the environment variable is set only for the corresponding phase of the diagnostic test.
If the parent EnvironmentVariables element for the Variable element is the child of the DiagnosticTest element, the environment variable is set globally for the entire diagnostic test.
To unset an environment variable, specify the Name attribute without a Value attribute, or specify an empty string for the Value attribute, for example:
<Variable Name="Variable1"/>
<Variable Name="Variable2" Value=""/>
You cannot specify multiple Variable elements that have the same value for the Name attribute in the definition of a single diagnostic test.
