That's what I thought. Anyway, thanks for the explanation. In the Strawberry package I used to build the Padre-on-Strawberry package there are two scripts: relocation.pl.bat and update_env.pl.bat After unzipping the package and placing it in a convenient place the user needs to run these two scripts in order to fix the hard-coded PATH-es in some perl files and to change the PATH environment variable of Windows. This does not take effect immediately and the user either needs to reboot or - open the window where you can set the environment variables and press OK. This latter is a bit cumbersome. Is there a way to tell window to do that without use interaction? Is there a perl module that can do that? I am also adding a new script to the package - now I call it setup_padre.pl.bat which calls padre to add an icon on the desktop of the user. I guess if the above manual intervention could be eliminated then I could create a single .bat that would call the above 3 and setup everything for the user. Any ideas? BTW I'd be happy if any of you how understands Windows could take a look at those scripts. The first two are only in the distribution. The last one is here: http://svn.perlide.org/padre/trunk/tools/setup_padre.pl.bat regards Gabor
