[ACCEPTED]-Can anyone give me a example of modifying windows environment system variables in WIX?-environment
Accepted answer
You should be able to use:
<Environment Id="PATH" Name="PATH" Value="[INSTALLDIR]" Permanent="yes" Part="last" Action="set" System="yes" />
This should add 2 a new entry to the environment path, set 1 to [INSTALLDIR].
Another thing to note is, Environment need to be placed 2 inside a component with directory, e.g.
<DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR">
<Component Id="Path" Guid="{xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx}">
<Environment Id="PATH" Name="PATH" Value="[INSTALLDIR]" Permanent="no" Part="last" Action="set" System="no" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>

Had the same exact problem, this have worked 1 for me:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="DataBaseds_Service_Installer" />
</Directory>
</Directory>
<ComponentGroup Id="Components" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER">
...some components
</ComponentGroup>
<DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR">
<Component Id="MYSQL_PASSWORD" Guid="..."
<Environment Id=HERE YOU CAN ADD THIS :)/>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
