Description

As a CDR user I want to be able to launch the CDR reports menu in XMetal so that I can access CDR reports.

Some laptops have the %ProgramFiles% environment variable set to the wrong value (the same value as the %ProgramFiles(x86)% environment variable. Please Add this new environment variable so that XMetal can identify Chrome as the default browser on laptops with the wrong environments. 

Acceptance Criteria:

Scenario: CDR has the ability to launch Chrome as the default browser
Given: I am a CDR user
When I launch the CDR report menu in XMetal
Then the default CDR browser, Chrome, should be open for me to access the relevant reports

The new environment variable to be added is actually {}ProgramW6432{}.

I am guessing this is going to be difficult to test on the VM so I am moving it to the QA verified Workflow for now.

Can't test this on QA.

This issue is difficult to test in production without getting CBIIT involved. I am closing the ticket and will open a new ticket if anyone reports the problem again.
