Hello Stack Overflow community,
I'm facing an issue with an Inno Setup script and need some assistance. During the installation of an executable (Exe), I'm required to set up an environment variable for MongoDB. My objective is to create a Windows service for MongoDB, but before doing so, I need to add an environment variable for it. To achieve this, I've followed the following steps in my Inno Setup script:
In the CurStepChanged event for ssInstall, I'm adding the MongoDB environment variable using EnvRemoveAddPath function. The environment variable appears to be set correctly.
In the CurStepChanged event for ssPostInstall, I'm refreshing the environment variables using the RefreshEnvironment function.
I proceed to perform the necessary logic, including creating the Windows service for MongoDB.
However, when I attempt to configure MongoDB using the command mongod --dbpath <{app}\database\path> during the service configuration, I encounter the error message: 'mongod' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Strangely, after this error occurs, I manually check the environment variable settings for MongoDB, and they appear to be set correctly. Furthermore, when I use the echo %path% command in the CMD, I can see that the MongoDB variable is indeed present. Despite this, during the execution of the installer, the error persists.
Can anyone help me understand why this issue is occurring and how I can resolve it? Thank you for your assistance.
I provided my code please check it.

Adding an environment variable path isn't mandatory when creating a Windows service. If you encounter an issue such as "'mongod' is not recognized as an internal or external command" even after adding environment variables during application installation, you can create a Windows service using the following approach:
[Files]
Source: "{#MyAppParentPath}\thirdparty\mongodb\*"; DestDir: "{app}\mongodb"; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs createallsubdirs uninsneveruninstall onlyifdoesntexist;
Source: "{#MyAppParentPath}\mongod.cfg"; DestDir: "{app}\mongodb\bin"; Flags: ignoreversion
[Run]
Filename: "{cmd}"; \
Parameters: "/C mongod --config ""{app}\mongodb\bin\mongod.cfg"" --wiredTigerCacheSizeGB 0.65 --auth --install --serviceName=envVarIssueAppdatabase --logpath ""{app}\database\log\mongo.log"" && sc start envVarIssueAppdatabase && sc config envVarIssueAppdatabase DisplayName=envVarIssueApp-database-server"; \
WorkingDir: "{app}\mongodb\bin"; \
Description: "Installing MongoDB service"; \
StatusMsg: "Installing MongoDB service..."; \
Flags: postinstall runascurrentuser runhidden;
This script installs MongoDB as a Windows service without relying on environment variables for the 'mongod' executable. It copies necessary files and configurations to the appropriate directories and then uses the 'sc' command to create and configure the Windows service for MongoDB.
This approach ensures that the 'mongod' command is accessible within the service context without relying on environment variables, addressing the "'mongod' is not recognized as an internal or external command" issue.
You can refer full code (create windows service for Mongodb and tomcat)
