Answer 1

There are two types of environment variables: user environment variables (set for each user) and system environment variables (set for everyone).

By default, a child process inherits the environment variables of its parent process. Programs started by the command processor inherit the command processor's environment variables.

Probably, you can check machine users and if product is installed for all users point to system environment variable in Local Machine.
