Right, you don't need to set the system path for everything, but you do
need to set it in CMD (or other shell) before running Rcmd.
For Win 2K/XP/Vista, the system path can be set (through the GUI interface,
not sure how to do it with scripts) without restarting, for new CMD
processes started afterwards.
Sure, but the installer doesn't know how to do that. It just sets the
path in the registry; it doesn't know how to give Explorer a kick to get
it to reload from there. As far as I know there's no documented way to
do that.
Within a shell it's very easy to set the path, but it doesn't propagate
to processes started outside that shell.
