Description
Hi,
is it possible that a VB installer creates a system environment variable "path"? I ask this because before I' found that I should have created it, it was very frustrating. I thought that it was already created synce in User's manual has not been written that it should be created by users of this great product.
If it is not possible, is it possible to update an User's manual to instruct us that if we want use a command line, we must first create an environment variable or type a path to VBoxManage.exe.
Observed in VB 5.1.14 on Windows, but probably a linux users can also benefit.
Thank you.
Jožef

Jožef, I already reported this some time ago in ticket #16157, for the exact same reasons. BTW, Linux, Mac and (I believe) Solaris hosts already have it in their path. It's only Windows that's missing this "feature".
