No these variables are not reset. They are not set yet because you are
performing an upgrade and not a fresh installation.

Please note that as of version 2, there is no need to set environment
variables (except for DAISY_HOME and JAVA_HOME) for DAISY_DATADIR,
DAISYWIKI_DATADIR, .... So they are not set again, you could even
remove these environment variables that were created during the
installation of daisy 1.5.1 with the windows installer.

Please note that values from environment variables take precedence
over values set inside the config file (not for the datadirs, since
this is currently prevented from what I consider a bug in the wrapper
scripts).
