Does the windows installer provided on SF set a PATH to fpc.exe?

Is that installer listed in Windows' Uninstall control pane?
And I suddenly got an idea while rereading your original message about this again:

Did you really install that FPC 3.2.2 you provided in the screenshot? Or are you simply using the FPC provided with the Lazarus installer? Cause then it's clear that you wouldn't find anything...

That is not enough information, cause I don't know what the Default setting of your Lazarus is as this doesn't depend on your host system but on whether you have installed the 64- or 32-bit version of Lazarus.

Again appologies - I meant my Lazarus system is a 64bit installation - and can now see that you might be misled into thinking that I meant my PC System was 64bit.

Thanks, so at least it shouldn't be a problem with the registry virtualization then...

Yes.

That's a very subtle distinction and I hadn't appreciated that there might be a difference. Yes - or rather NO, I didn't install FPC3.2.2 per se - I simply installed Lazarus and that (I thought) installed FPC3.2.2 - sometime the logic of Compiler/RAD/IDE just eludes me :o
I think I'm re-assured that I have nothing 'lurking' - or even missing for that matter - and that your utility hasn't missed something.

At least on Windows that's not a subtle, but an important distinction, cause there the Lazarus installer comes bundled with its own FPC distribution and they're not (un)installed separately. The FPC installer is completely independent of the Lazarus one and the main intention is to install it if you either don't use Lazarus at all or you want to use a different version of FPC with your existing Lazarus installation.
