Thanks James!
  I had loaded my msi package on a virtual machine, and though that it
didn't set that.  I'll repeat my test and pay better attention this time :-)

Subject: Re: [Nant-users] modify system path from msi


Hi John,

I actually do something similar in the NAntContribInstall.include file.
This should do the trick:

<environment>
 <variable name="*PATH" append="'[D__NANT_BIN]'" component="C__NAnt_Bin" />
</environment>

The * prefixing the PATH name means that the install should treat it as a
system variable.  If you're interested in other prefixes, have a look here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/msi/setup/environment_table.asp

Hope that helps

Jim


As a reference, the NAntContribInstall.include file is located here:

tall.include?rev=1.10&view=auto
