Updating MATLAB path during post-install

I'm new to using Windows installers, but think this solution might already exist in the Advanced Installer.

I have a collection of "toolbox" files for a program called MATLAB. MATLAB has it's own command line shell complete with an environment path that defines where to look for toolboxes.

Is it possible for the install application to update MATLAB's path? Could someone provide me with an example of how to do this? (Or, what section to look under).

Thanks.

Hi Tony,

Yes, it is possible. All you have to do is to author an environment variable with an Append or Prepend behavior and with the same name as the MATLAB's variable.
