    5252Warning: Adding entries to the PATH is normally benign. However, if you delete, you may mess up your PATH string, and you could seriously compromise the functioning of your computer. Please be careful.[[BR]]

    54 1. Right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties".
    55 2. Click Advanced -> Environment Variables.
    56 3. In the box entitled "System Variables" scroll down to the line that says "PATH" and double-click the entry.
    57 4. You will be presented with a dialog box with two text boxes, the bottom text box allows you to edit the PATH variable. It is very important that you do not delete the existing values in the PATH string, this will cause all sorts of problems for you!
    58 5. Scroll to the end of the string and at the end add ";<installation-directory>\bin". Here <installation-directory> is the full absolute path name of the installation directory; if you accepted the defaults when installing tar and gzip, then for these, it will (probably) be C:\Program Files\GnuWin32, while for MinGW it will be C:\MinGW\bin, (if you kept to the recommended default installation directory). Don't forget the semicolon; this separates the entries in the PATH.
    59 6. press OK -> OK -> OK and you are done.
