Can I programmatically change the VI Search Path?

[mike_nrao]

I'm writing a simple program to periodically mass compile certain directories of my source code.  In my directory structure I try to enforce rules about what is allowed to depend on what, so I want to programatically enforce this during the mass compile.   To do this, I'd need to modify the VI search path before each directory is compiled.  Is there any property or method available for changing the VI Search Path?

There is, but it's a private property, so it's not documented, and its behavior and/or availability can change with subsequent releases of LabVIEW:

Can you tell me the INI settings to be included to show up the private properties & methods ?

SuperSecretPrivateSpecialStuff=True

I think this is the part where I'm supposed to say that any damage caused by messing with private properties/methods is entirely due to the programmer, and not National Instruments, or something to that effect.

Thanks smercurio_fp.   That's exactly what I needed.  I haven't used supersecret stuff since LV 7.1 and I avoid including any of it in delivered software, but since this is just for a development tool I'm definitely going to take advantage of it again.
