How to add new path to current system path

rodbernardo · 2008-04-21

Hello gurus,

How can I add a new path string to the current system path?

Using Environ('Path') we can able to retrieve the current system path, but how to add new path string?

Current System Path:

Path = c:\windows;c:\windows\system32;

I want to add this path c:\temp;

New system path will be:

Path := c:\windows;c:\windows\system32;c:\temp;

Any work around? Which automation should we use?

Thanks in advance.

Use the 'Windows Script Host Object Model'.FileSystemObject'

CreateFolder(NewFolder : Text[100]) : Boolean
IF ISCLEAR(FileSystem) THEN
IF NOT CREATE(FileSystem) THEN
EXIT;

FileSystem.CreateFolder(NewFolder);

Take a look at the following post:

the Systemvariable Path is stored in the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\Path

so, you can use WshShell

Name DataType Subtype Length
WshShell Automation 'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell

if isclear(WshShell) then
create(WshShell);

RegKey := 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\Path';

Variantvariable := WshShell.RegRead(RegKey);
.....

WshShell.RegWrite(RegKey,YOURNEWVAUE);
clear(WshShell);
