Hello Juanjo, first of all, thanks for your response. I have setup a little test case based on your suggestion. ***part1.bat*** set II_SYSTEM=C:\Ingres reg add HKCU\Environment /v PATH /d "%II_SYSTEM%;%path%" /f ***part1.bat*** ***part2.bat*** todo.pl "echo %PATH%" ***part2.bat*** ***runallwithoutreboot.bat*** todo.pl "part2.bat" todo.pl "part1.bat" ***runallwithoutreboot.bat*** I have executed runallwithoutreboot.bat using appsonly.bat Unfortunately, the output of echo command in part2.bat will *not show* c:\Ingres Logging off from Windows (or rebooting) + logging in + cmd.exe + path command ---> c:\Ingres is shown So it was worth a trial but doesn't seem to solve the problem. I wonder if the with-env.pl script would be useful for my scenario, has anybody here used it and can give some examples?
