OP states: "Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TEST1","1",EnvironmentTarget.User) is setting REGISTRY keys, which is not appropriate... I dont want these to survive restarts of the cmd shell"

I dont want to set permanent environment variables, I just want to export the environment variables into the environment that the current shell is running. Using bash, a script would call "export VARIABLE=value" and that VARIABLE now exists within the bash environment so that whatever is looking for it sees it. CMD scripts ironically default the opposite, always EXPORTING the variables unless SETLOCAL is called first. I need to be able to EXPORT from a C# program but it appears I need to parse the gitverison json some other way.
