How can i add the path of application to System path of OS?

[Tiros]

hi~

i'm looking for a way to add the path of Java to System path of OS (XP and Windows 7).

I found the way to get the key value of Java(to the bin folder) at registry, and System path.

Java path value at registry is like this, and can be gotten easily.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib\{5852F5E0-8BF4-11D4-A245-0080C6F74284}\1.0\HELPDIR]

@="C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\bin"

BTW, here is the problem to adding this value to System Environment.

It is easy to add this path to System Path at registry editor, but when i export System Environment key value as .reg file,

the value of path comes to be translated as hex value like below.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]

"Path"=hex(2):43,00,3a,00,5c,00,50,00,72,00,6f,00,67,00,72,00,61,00,6d,00,20,\

00,46,00,69,00,6c,00,65,00,73,00,5c,00,4a,00,61,00,76,00,61,00,5c,00,6a,00,\

00,00

Any one who solve this problem or know how to add a path to System path?

Of course, i know how to add a path with Dos command "set path"

Test this:

$sKey = ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerEnvironment")
$sVal = "Path"
$sPath = RegRead($sKey, $sVal)
$sNewPath = "C:Program FilesJavajre7bin"
If StringRight($sPath, 1) <> ";" Then $sPath &= ";"
RegWrite($sKey, $sVal, "REG_EXPAND_SZ", $sPath & $sNewPath)
