How to set path??

Is there a way with nsis to set windows path. Like in a batch file you would have

set var=path\to\folder

is there a way to do that using nsis??

If you are using Process Explorer ...

it has a way to launch a program with minimal rights. It strips off all admin privileges and the admin group, leaving your program running with just the access your user account would have if it weren't admin. If you use that for testing, it ought to tell you right away.
