Hi, Folks!

I am creating a command-line project in VS.2003 and I'm trying to
create an installer for it. I want to add the installation path (e.g.
C:\Program Files\<ProjectName>) of my program to the PATH environment
variable of the workstation and do it with the setup file. How do I
do that in VS?

Thx.

I recommend using WiX instead of the deployment projects in VS.NET;
<http://wix.sourceforge.net>
