Also confirmed with Plus 1.0.17, it's crazy how the snapshot feature can break system environment variables.

the problem was with the taking of teh snapshot moving RegHive to the snapshot instead of only copying it.
You can fix the issue for now by copying reghive manualyl out of the snapshot back to the root, and the next build will no longer do that mistake
