PuTTY wish installer-addpath

This is a mirror. The primary PuTTY web site can be found here.

summary: Add path to PuTTY programs to PATH in Windows installer
class: wish: This is a request for an enhancement.
difficulty: tricky: Needs many tuits.
priority: low: We aren't sure whether to fix this or not.

We occasionally get asked to add an option in the Windows installer package to add the command-line programs such as PSCP and Plink to the system PATH.

On Win95/98/Me, this probably involves automatically modifying AUTOEXEC.BAT, which is probably not something we want to go anywhere near.
On NT-class systems, it's a bit better, as we can do this by modifying a Registry entry, and even prod running programs to pick it up. However, it's probably not possible to do this in a reversible way, so it would probably stay on the PATH even after uninstallation, which is bad. (We haven't actually tried this yet.)

One suggested solution is to use add_path.

Audit trail for this wish.
