Vault/Fortress Diff & Merge Error

After a painful re-image of my laptop I resumed my daily web development work only to realize that for some reason the connection to my vault diff & merge tool had been broken.  With a not-so-useful error I was able to hunt down the problem to an incorrectly mapped executable due to bogus environment variables being used.  I believe this is an error with Vault in the installation. 

If you go to Visual Studio Options > Source Control > Vault (or Fortress) Options > Advanced Options > Diff/Merge.  Look for the paths to the Diff/Merge EXE.  Browse to the file SGDM.EXE using the browse button, click OK.  You do not need to restart VS to complete this fix.
