Vista - Variable as hash table issue

I've got the "space invaders" PS script on the net as an example, and I saw
we can declare variable as has table to group similar variable.

Beside, I write my PS script with PowerShell Analyzer
(http://www.powershellanalyzer.com/).

In a script, I created a variable like :

$path = @{
'root' = "z:/projects"
'output' = $path.root + "/output"
'binaries' = $path.output + "/binaries"
}

This works well in PS Analyzer (all the "path" sub variables are resolved,
but when I try to run the script in the PS command prompt, I get error
because the variables 'output' and 'binaries' are not resolved.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks for your help.

This works. There may be a more elegant way.

PS> $path = @{'root' = "c:\scripts\monad"}
PS> $path +=@{'output' = $path.root + "\utils"; 'binaries' = $path.root +
"\test"}
PS> $path

Name Value
---- -----
output c:\scripts\monad\utils
binaries c:\scripts\monad\test
root c:\scripts\monad


PS> $path.root
c:\scripts\monad
PS> $path.output
c:\scripts\monad\utils
PS> $path.binaries
c:\scripts\monad\test
PS>
