What You Are Seeing?
When running refreshenv at the same time under multiple command prompt windows it tries to write _envset.tmp and _env.cmd but ends up in a race condition situation as the files are locked by other process. This is not an issue when running refreshenv manually but when automating things and optimizing the automation by parallelism.
What is Expected?
The temp files should be written with random file names.
How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)
Write a script which launches multiple command prompts and runs refreshenv on each.
@echo off
start cmd /k refreshenv
start cmd /k refreshenvOutput Log
