Append [TARGETDIR] variable to system PATH variable

Hi,

I have written a simple command line application in C# and created the
accompanying setup project in VS 2005.

When the user installs the application on the his/her machine, I would
like the path
[TARGETDIR]bin to be added to the machine Environment PATH variable.

Is there an easy way to do this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Chris
