           Summary: Environment variable %TEMP% is diffferent between
                    english and translated versions
           Product: ReactOS
           Version: TRUNK
          Platform: x86 Hardware
        OS/Version: ReactOS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Win32
        AssignedTo: ros-bugs at reactos.org
        ReportedBy: frode at enkelt.no
         QAContact: ros-bugs at reactos.org


When installing with bootcd and choosing english language the environment
variables %TEMP% and %TMP% are set to "C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator.Reactos\Local Settings\Temp".

But when installing using a language where the Local Settings folder has been
renamed ROS is unable to find the Temp directory, and therefore sets it to
C:\Temp.

In dll\win32\userenv\environment.c DstValue.Buffer uses the english "Local
Settings" term, and GetShortPathNameW is then unable to find the localized
folder. On a Norwegian installation (where the "Local Settings" folder is
called "Lokale innstillinger" the GetShortPathNameW call in environment.c fails
with a ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND because it's been told to look for the "Local
Settings" folder.

The problem seems to occur approximately on the RtlExpandEnvironmentStrings_U()
call, and the fact that it doesn't translate the path correctly.
