This could be a solution: ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist I also find a way to make this .plist automatically. Thanks for your info.

Some facts to clear it up: (1) The path for Finder is NOT set from the login shell. (2) There is no ‘hence’; other GUI-launched Cocoa apps are actually launched by launchd, not by Finder itself. (3) Yes, the plist is the right way to handle it, but if you have a chance to explain that to the user, you might as well just ask them to locate the binary, which is probably easier for 9 out of 10 users out there.
