[issue3561] Windows installer should add Python and Scripts directories to the PATH environment variable

[Brian Curtin]

So I have a patch that does most of what my previous message shows, but I can't seem to complete it. I don't know if I'm misunderstanding something or this just can't be done, but I could use the help of someone who understands MSI things much better than I can.

Attached is the patch which makes this (http://i.imgur.com/415Y1.png) screen possible. The problem is that I can't seem to hook up the Yes and No buttons to set the path feature to install or not on the next screen, the Feature selection page.

http://ubuntuone.com/1GfW3hasOIDydQEAweOoKr is a link to an installer built with that patch if anyone wants to click through and it and see if it's worth adding in that form.
