Subject: win7 PATH sysvar [kfw-3.2.2 installer]

Hi,
After installing kfw-3.2.2 my PATH sysvar was changed. It seems like the installer REPLACED it with new item, instead of APPENDING on it.
I guess what happened is that the installer executed `path C:\Program Files (x86)\MIT\Kerberos\bin` instead of `path %PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\MIT\Kerberos\bin` .
I am using win7 home premium.

regards,

Hello,

I have a test environment set up as 64-bit win7 enterprise, and when I install kfw-3.2.2.msi, I
see "C:\Program Files (x86)\MIT\Kerberos\bin" appended to the system path, with no change
to the user-specific path. Are you using the MSI installer or the exe installer?

That said, the source code for the exe ("NSIS") installer appears to be calling the correct "SET
PATH=%PATH;[...]" form, so I do not understand where the behavior you see could be
originating.

Hi,
Maybe I should have used the msi installer, because I was using the exe installer:

Installer kfw-3-2-2.exe, 6425k.
Thanks for the reply.
