Greetings all!
I have a small exe file that I'd like to be able to call from the cmd, and an installer for this exe.
I've tried simply copying the exe into the System32 folder (using the installer), but it was throwing an error for some reason...
The second way I know how to do this is to add a value into the environmental variable "path".
I tried running this code, but it says I don't have the needed permissions to access the registery.
(I know that bit is coded a bit weirdly... I was testing something out
)
Is there a way I can get the required permissions for my installer? This isn't just for my computer so it has to be automated.
Or perhaps, is there a different way to do what I'm trying that wouldn't require getting those permissions?
Thanks!

VB.NET:
Dim _path As String = My.Application.GetEnvironmentVariable("path")
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("path", _path & ";" & System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles) & "\Fldrstudios\_lib", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine)(I know that bit is coded a bit weirdly... I was testing something out
