.SS Windows-Specific Options:

.TP
-.B \-\-win-sys path|'env'
+.B \-\-win-sys path
Set the Windows system directory pathname to use when looking for system
executables such as
.B route.exe
and
.B netsh.exe.
By default, if this directive is
-not specified, the pathname will be set to "C:\\WINDOWS"
-
-The special string
-.B 'env'
-indicates that the pathname should be read from the
-.B SystemRoot
-environmental variable.
+not specified, OpenVPN will use the SystemRoot environment variable.
+
+This option have changed behaviour in OpenVPN 2.3. Earlier you had to
+define
+.B --win-sys env
+to use the SystemRoot environment variable, otherwise it defaulted to C:\\WINDOWS.
+It is not needed to use the
+.B env
+keyword any more, and it will just be ignored. A warning is logged when this
+is found in the configuration file.
