If I'm understanding your question, you want to know how to set an environment
variable in windows xp.
1)If you have the "my computer" icon on your desktop, right-click on it to get
the popup menu.
2)click properties item at menu bottom.
3) click advanced tab
4) click "environment variables"  button 
5) In the Environment variables dialog there is user variables and system
variables
6) if EUINC doesn't exist in system variables add it by clicking "new"
7) In the new system variable dialog enter EUINC as variable name
8) Enter win32lib path in variable value and others path if necessary. Each path
beeing separated by a ; character
9) close all dialogs
10) close your session and reopen it.
launch cmd.exe  and from there type echo %euinc% just to ensure that the
variable is correctly defined. If %euinc% is echoed to the screen instead of its
value, you have
made a mistake somewhere, goto step 1 restart again.

NOTE: if "my computer" icon is not on desktop you'll find it in the start menu.
