I see. In fact that's true for most Windows power users. The nice thing about a batch file containing SET statements is that it can serve both purposes: - Used with -k <env.bat> to bring up a new command window from the start menu - Used with call <env.bat> from within a predefined custom environment Maybe a question of personal taste but I think every experienced Windows user keeps his fingers crossed when double-clicking on some 'setup.exe' because you never know if your system stills works as desired afterwards. So I generally prefer installers not modifying global settings if not necessary - just my two cents... > This is what I've decided: > ...
