      This took me a while to track down. I run my build scripts using Bash over Cygwin, which is inherently case sensitive. This affects not only variables I've created myself but it also breaks scripts that are using variables that are lower case by default.

      I can't go and rename these system variables because it will break the script on other systems as well. And it may even break the operating system.

      Examples of default variables include:
      ProgramData
      ProgramFiles(x86)
      ProgramW6432
      CommonProgramFiles(x86)
      CommonProgramW6432
