Can we get WiX toolset bin directory added to PATH?

We're authoring WiX projects by hand and would like to use candle/light to create installers; the WIX environment variable is present in interactive prompts, but doesn't seem to be available in the build environment, and the bin directories aren't in the default build environment PATH, either. I'd rather not hard-code a WiX version into the project files, can we either have WIX in the build environment or the WiX bin directory added to PATH?

Thanks for providing a great platform!

    I see now that WIX is available as an environment variable, i'm just having trouble referencing it in commands with quotes. Consider this resolved (but it would be nice to have candle and light in the default PATH).

    Thanks again.
