If you set System="no" then I believe this change would only apply to the user that is logged in at the time the installer is run. System variables apply to everyone and user variables don't. As long as that is what you want I don't see any other problems. I do nearly the exact same in a product we have been shipping for nearly 4 years now, except mine is a System variable since the person logged in when running the install may not always be the person logged into the machine during normal operations.

This is the logic I came up with and I just want to confirm this is the right way of doing things. I create a property based on a registry search and then install the environment variable via a component with a condition. If there is a better way of doing this do let me know. Thanks in advance. <Property Id='LOTUS_NOTES_INSTALLED'> <RegistrySearch Id='TestAppRegSearch' Root='HKLM' Key='SOFTWARE\Lotus\Notes' Name='Path' Type='raw' /> </Property> <Component Id="EnvVar1" Guid="{1781A625-8ACB-45E7-A8BA-219D81760B2E}"> <Environment Id="LotusNotesPath" Action="set" Part="last" Name="PATH" Permanent="no" System="no" Value="[LOTUS_NOTES_INSTALLED]" /> <Condition><![CDATA[NOT Installed AND LOTUS_NOTES_INSTALLED <> ""]]></Condition> </Component> - Arun ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
