there seems that in win XP you can't add a path to autoexec.bat because i doesnt exits

configure C++ builder is quite a mess in XP,
when i compile it sends the error message that it can't execute command "ilink32.exe", i wonder it is because i didnt add the directory "c:\Borland\Bcc55" to the existing path can you help me Out? thx!

Set paths? for use in the command prompt? ummmm, I think Xp has done away with it. The DOS emulator in Xp really is rather limited i'm afraid............

As there is no DOS in Xp then there is also no Autoexec.bat or config.sys, if you REALLY need to use DOS, then get yurself a copy of 6.1 and setup a dual boot.

It is, in fact, possible to change this environment variable like in Win2K. Go in the 'control panel' in 'System', Go in 'Advanced' then 'Environment Params' and there wou go, you can change it.

So long,
