Dear eshi,

That depends on your system. On my Windows Vista system, dot.exe lives in
C:\Graphviz2.20\bin, so I placed this directory on my path, via the System
Properties -> Advanced tab -> Environment Variables dialog, editing either
the user variables or system variables.

I hope this helps,
 John
