Why?! it will change the path it could even break the system, why if the user 
have a path that overwrites other you want to break it?
 
And your solution doesn't work in multiconfiguration cases, while the thing 
I'm propposing looks like will work at least in most of these cases. See this 
example:

PATH C:\DOS
goto %config%
:User1
PATH=D:\DOS 
goto end
:User2
goto end
:User3
PATH=%PATH%;D:\EXTRA
goto end
:end

Now what I say is:

PATH C:\DOS
PATH=c:\djgpp\bin;%PATH%
goto %config%
:User1
PATH=D:\DOS 
PATH=c:\djgpp\bin;%PATH%
goto end
:User2
goto end
:User3
PATH=%PATH%;D:\EXTRA
goto end
:end

It isn't perfect. Why? think about it in the end:

PATH=c:\borland;%PATH%

That's why an installer *must* be complemented by djverify.
