I didn't say the opposite -- the problem is indeed in EqualX (or any other
future softwares relying on MiKTeX) which has (and will have) a hard time
to find the correct path.

But I'm using a 64-bit OS and default settings of EqualX didn't work.  It
took me some time to figure out why EqualX didn't work.

But it doesn't hurt to declare a variable to make things clearer for
everybody.  That is more than profitable for everyone.
