Message 153761 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Attached is an in-progress patch.

I still need to figure out how to hook up the GUI to condition the path manipulation. A few locations have said to do conditional environment modification via the Component table, but I haven't been able to get some placeholder in there based on whether or not PREPEND is true/false from the GUI.

Right now if you build an installer with this it will always modify the path even if you haven't chosen the option to do so.

http://briancurtin.com/python-dev/python-3.3.15390.msi is an example installer. Note that it's not a signed installer, it's unofficial, and I don't support it whatsoever. It's merely provided as a sample of what the GUI looks like, and you can install it, see what happens, then uninstall and see that the path modification is properly undone.
