hi
i add in registry userSpace :
HCU/Environment/myVar = "d:\bin";
then i add myVar to path (in registry)
(path = %path%;%myVar%)
but echo %path% writes :
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\WinNT;%myVar%" !!!!!!
Why %myVar% is not "d:\bin" ?
thanks

I would like to make it permanent, not volatile (just for a process), i think, SetEnvironmentVariable is just for the process !
User Environment Variables
It appears that your application can not modify user environment variables; to do that you need to use the WriteEnvironmentStrings action in an MSI installer.
Your lack of initiative, however, is shocking.

quote:Original post by encomYou aren''t. Given several pointers to information from Microsoft''s MSDN database, that you failed to search (or at least indicate that you''ve searched) suggests a "spoonfed" mentality which is detrimental to a developer. Finding things out on your own (rather than running to a forum and asking breathless, panicky questions at first frustration) is a core part of becoming a competent developer. The failure to realize and abide by this will result in curiosities like "developing" your own game engine but having no idea how to make a game from it (with apologies to Promit).
You are exempted idiotic comments!
So, RTFM.
