Installing Jython into a Windows box would be easier if installer put the installation directory into PATH environment variable. If this is not done then users must be explicitely asked to do it, and since many Windows users don't (unfortunately) know how that is done also detailed instructions should be provided. Setting PATH should be optional but probably enabled by default.

In linuxes and other unixes not setting PATH is probably ok because 1) these users generally know how to set it themselves and 2) there are so many ways to set it that making a correct choise is hard (and thus better left for the user).

I don't know enough about Macs to have an opinion.
