Configuration
-------------
- - In the Windows installer, the dialog box where the user can elect to
- add the HDF5 bin/ path to the %PATH% environment variable was changed
- to simply display the product name instead of the path that would be
- added.
-
- This is in line with most installers. The reason for the change is
- that is difficult to pass the correct path from CPack to the NSIS
- installer for display.
-
- Note that this was never a code issue - it was just a path display
- problem. The installer always did the right thing when updating the
- environment variable.

+ - Windows installer incorrect display of PATH environment variable.
+
+ In the Windows installer, the dialog box where the user can elect to
+ add the product's bin path to the %PATH% environment variable displayed
+ an incorrect path. This path was missing the C:\Program Files part
+ and used the POSIX file separator '/' before the bin (<path>/bin,
+ instead of <path>\bin).
+
+ The dialog box text was changed to simply say that the product's bin
+ path would be added instead of explicitly displaying the path.
+ This is in line with most installers. The reason for not fixing the
+ displayed path instead is that it is difficult to pass the correct
+ path from CPack to the NSIS installer for display.
+
+ Note that this was never a code issue - it was just a display
+ problem. The installer always did the right thing when updating the
+ environment variable.
