~96 regression tests fail when using QuickTime 7.6 (they pass with QuickTime 7.3)

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Brian Weinstein]

When the Windows buildbots were updated to Quicktime 7.6, ~100 media tests started failing. These were media tests and other tests that depended on media attributes (some of the fast/js tests were failing because they couldn't find an Audio object, for example).

When researching, I noticed the Quicktime SDK is only at version 7.3, which could have something to do with it.

I think (throughout this function) it would be better to compare with ERROR_SUCCESS.

Can we use SHGetValue instead? That would be a lot simpler.

There's a strange mix of TCHAR and WCHAR here. I'd just always use WCHAR and call the *W versions of the APIs (e.g., SetEnvironmentVariableW).

I think it's worth adding a comment explaining why this is necessary.

r=me, but you should consider these comments.

That should be Vector<WCHAR>.
