in order to run MATLAB with a specific PATH set up?
If that's what you meant, I really can't do that for two reasons. First, 
I think that users don't want Python(x,y) installer to change in any way 
their other installed softwares. Second, MATLAB is an interpreter much 
like Python, meaning that you can type "matlab.exe script.m" to run 
program "script.m", so you can't really ask users to use a .bat file 
each time they run programs.
