GE Chuck, All,

That's interesting. What version of Windows are you using?

I did some testing on this yesterday. I'm on Vista-64 and XP-32. What
I found was this:

Assuming c:\Python27 is needed:

*Open CMD Window. run && cmd / Ctrl+Alt+L, etc.*
set PATH=%PATH%;c:\Python27
echo %PATH%
- - c:\Python27 was in the path

This was good only for the current CMD session. Closing and opening a
new CMD window, echo %PATH%, c:\Python27 was no longer in the path.
Rebooting also confirmed this behavior.

*Open a new CMD Window*
setx PATH "%PATH%;c\Python27"
echo %PATH%  # c:\Python27 is in the path

- - Open new CMD window, Python27 is in the path.
- - Reboot, open CMD window, echo %PATH%, Python27 is in path
- - In both cases, I  checked via CLI ++ Computer >> Properties >> Adv
Sys Settings >> Env Vars

Maybe with Win7/8, this behavior is different than in Vista, I'm not
sure. It seems, at least on Vista, that using "setx" not just "set"
makes the path addition sticky.

In any case, If the CLI method does not work, manually adding it via
the link you provided certainly should.

Thanks
