Add to PATH environment variable in Distribution Kit installer for command-line tools?

I have a workspace with about a dozen projects that build command line tools. I decided to try making an installer for them and that works, but I do not know how to set the environment Path in the installer. I see in the help files I should be able to do something like this:

 

Path=%Path%;%dest

 

...and I've seen tips about setting the registry keys to do this, but the location I am told to use is unavailable in the installer:

 

You cannot add a new key directly under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, nor can you add a value to any of the hive keys.

 

Tutorials say to change 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment' and add a key there.

 

Can this be done? We are using LabWindows 2017.
