I need to extend the PATH environment variable on Windows.
So far, I use:
system('setx PATH "%PATH%;'+bindir+'"')
The problem: In a new process (cmd.exe) PATH contains a lot of double
elements. As far as I have understood, Windows builds the PATH
environment variable from a system component and a user component. With
the setx command from above I have copied the system PATH into the user
PATH component.
Is there a better way to extend the PATH environment variable for the user?
It must be persistent, not only for the current process.
