ENVy compares the environment of two computers
(pc) and provides a color-annotated display of the results. ENVy compares Environment Variables, over 400 Internet
Explorer® settings, Network
Configuration, Installed Software, Operating System, Processor, Startup
Commands, Process List and more.
ENVy was written for
the times when you've asked "Why does it work on your computer? What's different
about your environment?" Well, ENVy helps you find out and is a must for
troubleshooting.
ENVy is essential for
any developer or IT professional that works with multiple computers.
Using ENVy v1.2 will save you time,
money, and headache by instantly identifying and guiding you right to the
differences between your environments.

ENVy is a stunningly useful program for anyone who
has to code, debug, or install software across multiple machines. It provides a
detailed breakdown and comparison of all environment and system variables, allowing
you to very quickly locate differences between configurations, differences
which might cause all manner of unexpected bugs. (I once had a system crash due
to the installation of invalid fonts. Go figure.)
"But it works on my machine!"
is the plaintive cry of the Great North American Programmer, trying hard to
understand why customers are calling in with complaints. You can give ENVy
v1.1, which is 100% freeware, to clients or co-workers so that their
configurations can be compared with your own. This is much, much, faster than
trying to get customers to look up this information on their own systems, or
get a remote IT department to do it for you.
The interface is very simple. A set of tabs
divides the data into categories, and each category is displayed via a clean
tree view. One side, the "This PC" side, shows all possible data
values, with colors highlighting differences. At first, it is confusing that
only one side is colored, but ultimately, this serves ENVy's purpose
better--you can instantly see which values are different or missing between
systems.
ENVy is mostly of use to developers or
network administrators who need to compare machines. However, it can also be a
useful tool if you ever need to send your settings to a third party to aid in
their troubleshooting of a problem on your system.
