problem with default path for osql

Hi!
I have a following problem:
When I run osql from cmd prompt it is running fine, however if I have to run
osql from another osql session by using xp_cmdshell 'osql ...'. It can not
find the osql file.
I 've checked both PATH variable as well as registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software...\80\Tools\ClientSetup\SqlPath are set to prope
r
value. What is missingI've seen this on machines that didn't reboot since installation. I worked a
round it by checking
registry entries for SQL server and build the bath based on that.
