what are system PATH environment variables?

We've purchased a component that requires us to install two DLLs. One we add
as a reference to our project, but the otherone we have to add to the
'environment setup' as a system path reference. What, exactly are these and
how do they compare to project reference DLLs?

Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Properties ->
Environment Variables. Here you can add a system environment
variable.

What is it telling you to add to the environment variables? Perhaps
the second dll is a native (non-.NET dll) that reads configuration
information from the environment variables.
