Install (e.g.) Mercurial\n2. Type \"hg\" in a command prompt\n\nI would expect my system to find the installed \"hg\" command. \n\nAdding the newly installed package to the PATH manually has two problems:\n\n1. The package manager is supposed to take care of all such details.\n2. When the package is updated the directory will change, which breaks \nfunctionality.\n\nIdeally, Npackd should be \"PATH-aware\" and a new XML tag could specify which \ndirectories (if any) should be added to the system PATH. When the package is \nuninstalled, these directories should be removed.\n\n\n```\n\nOriginal issue reported on code.google.com by `petter.s...@gmail.com` on 28 Mar 2011 at 11:28"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/chrsmith/windows-package-manager/issues/comments/76433590","html_url":"https://github.com/chrsmith/windows-package-manager/issues/36#issuecomment-76433590","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/chrsmith/windows-package-manager/issues/36","id":76433590,"user":{"login":"GoogleCodeExporter","id":9614759,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/9614759?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/GoogleCodeExporter","html_url":"https://github.com/GoogleCodeExporter","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GoogleCodeExporter/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GoogleCodeExporter/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GoogleCodeExporter/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GoogleCodeExporter/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GoogleCodeExporter/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GoogleCodeExporter/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GoogleCodeExporter/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GoogleCodeExporter/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/GoogleCodeExporter/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-27T17:23:58Z","updated_at":"2015-02-27T17:23:58Z","body":"```\nunfortunately this will not work. Many Windows programs expect some files at \nrelative locations to the .exe itself (*.dll, settings, files for translation \ninto other languages, etc.). The only way to make many different command line \ntools accessible without typing the path is to modify the PATH variable.\n```\n\nOriginal comment by `tim.lebe...@gmail.com` on 7 Apr 2011 at 4:45"}}
