Define multiple environment variables for debug in Visual C++

Question

I want to debug a program in Visual C++ that depends on two environment variables.

I know how to define one variable (Properties → Configuration Properties → Debug → Environment), but I am having problems defining two variables. I have tried to separate them with \ and |, but it didn't work.

In my VS Express 2012, there's a down arrow that when you click on it shows the alternative <Edit...>. If you select it you will get a dialog with a text entry box. This text entry allows multiple lines. Simply define one variable per line.

Note that it will look weird in the single-line text box in the project property dialog.

This does NOT work in the German version of VS2010. This is an unfixed Microsoft bug - see connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/727324/…
