[LLVMdev] Windows Installer

[Eric Mader]

I copied the x64 toolsets by hand and now when I try to compile a file, 
I get an error message saying that the build tools for llvm-2013 cannot 
be found. I guess that this is because the installer didn't correctly 
add the LLVM tools to $PATH. How can I correctly add the LLVM tools to 
the path?

Regards,
Eric
