Description soldatov 2015-10-14 19:55:06 UTC 
Windows 7
Path=C:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%

Scenario:
- Create Welcome project
- Call Project Properties window
- Set Run|Console Type=External Terminal
- Push OK button
- Clean and Build project
- Run project
==> "Unable to find any valid shell. It is needed for execution in an external terminal. Will start in OutputWindow"

In "Build Tools" tab I see all tools (compilers in C:\MinGW\bin and make in C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin). Therefore I think IDE can get all paths in order to launch terminal. And "Path=C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;%Path%" workaround is not needed.
