Jason,
Would you happen to be checking the path on an existing command line
window, or have you opened a new one? The path of existing command line
windows does not change when the system is updated (there isn't really any
good way to do this, since the user could have changed the path already in
the command line window, so overwriting it with the windows path on
changes would be unpleasant user experience).
If you right click on my computer and choose settings, then go to
environment variables on the advanced tab, does the PATH have your
changes? If so, your install worked and you just 'checked' it wrong.

What does your verbose log say?
I think you should have this <Environment> tag associated with the
component containing the .EXE you want to have in the path and not in
its own component.

I have this in my verbose Log:
MSI (s) (0C:C8) [14:02:53:830]: Executing op:
ActionStart(Name=WriteEnvironmentStrings,Description=Updating environment
strings,Template=Name: [1], Value: [2], Action [3])
MSI (s) (0C:C8) [14:02:53:830]: Executing op:
ProgressTotal(Total=1,Type=1,ByteEquivalent=13200)
MSI (s) (0C:C8) [14:02:53:840]: Executing op:
UpdateEnvironmentStrings(Name=PATH,Value=C:\Program Files\Dyalog\Dyalog
APL 11.0\,Delimiter=;,Action=-1610612735,)
which looks OK to me, but when I do "echo %PATH%" I only have:
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\system32\Wbem;c:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn
so it doesn't appear to have added mine to the list.
when you say "I think you should have this <Environment> tag associated
with the
component containing the .EXE you want to have in the path and not in
its own component."
I'm not sure I follow, am I right in guessing the section:
<DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR">
<Component Id="dyalog.exe"
Guid="4782648F-F51D-4A46-B3B4-FD738C40E8FB">
<File Id="dyalog.exe" Name="dyalog.exe" DiskId="1" KeyPath="yes"
Source="C:\Documents and Settings\jason\Desktop\newtake\intel\dyalog.exe"
/>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
I should have the ENVIRONMENT tag within this component tag?
