   * - Property Name
     - Description
   * - SearchPathHints
     - Optional search path hints which will be considered if an extension is loaded by the |ProductName|,
       additionally to the default ones. A search path hint can contain the prefix ``ENV:``
       to refer to an environment variable name. The default search paths are path given in the 
       environment variable ``SILKIT_EXTENSION_PATH`` and the current working directory.
       Relative paths refer to the working directory of the process using the configuration.
